Categories & Use Cases

Endpoint Security meets minimal requirements but UI is cumbersome to use

Pros

  • Functionality meets minimal requirements, since it performs forensic investigations as advertised.

Cons

  • Their UI definitely needs to be more user-friendly, right now it is very cumbersome to run and view investigations.
  • Authentication mechanism should be a simple username/password, not certificate-based which is difficult to manage.
  • Needs better support documentation for the product, it is difficult to find solutions to issues that we run into.

Return on Investment

  • One negative impact would be that since the UI is cumbersome to use we would need to spend more money on training which is not always feasible.
  • Another negative impact would be that since there is not much support available this slows down investigations due to finding out how to troubleshoot and fix functionality issues.
  • One positive impact would be that since it meets minimal requirements when it comes to forensic analysis it gives us visibility on any malicious activity occurring on a user's endpoint.
