We performed a comparison between Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The tool is an open-source EDR with antivirus features. It also has remote support and patch management."
"It really protects and does its job. It totally blocked every attack attempt, and no attack attempt was successful."
"They offer the whole package. Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is included with it, which is pretty nice. They also have Windows patching and third-party patching. It was easy to use for protection. The containment engine was pretty nice for securing our environment."
"It is a very stable solution, making it an excellent product."
"Containment is the best feature of the solution."
"The big advantage is that it has a sandbox if something bad comes into it."
"Auto Containment is a valuable feature."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The performance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has been good."
"I enjoy using the live response feature, which allows me to remotely access different endpoints and investigate malicious files, such as malware that people may have downloaded, and other related issues."
"Microsoft Defender can block some viruses or malware. So, it can protect my files. It can save files on Office 365 OneDrive. I use encryption for some files, then I can recover them from OneDrive."
"Auto-remediation: When the product sees malware, it resolves the issue immediately. This protects the machine."
"We have just started to implement it. It is useful for protection from malware and ransomware."
"The biggest benefit to Windows Defender is that it is built-in to the operating system by Microsoft."
"It is a straightforward setup."
"One feature I like the most is vulnerability management, which shows any vulnerable software or OS present in my environment. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides a complete overview and also recommends the steps to mitigate the vulnerabilities or threats. Most of the other antivirus or EDR solutions generally don't provide vulnerability management. It is an add-on that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The downside of the product stems from the fact that it is still an unknown product in the market. Comodo needs to invest more in advertisements and promotions."
"The quality of the analysis and the product dashboard is a bit low compared to other providers."
"The product must provide a web filter to block websites based on specific categories."
"We'd like the solution to include advanced web filtering capabilities, similar to what Sophos offers."
"There are a few minor issues such as package updates and passwords."
"The licensing fees are high. The company should work to try to lower them for the customer."
"The solution's online documentation needs to be fine-tuned. It is not up to which solution currently has. There is some inconsistency in the knowledge present. I would like to see MDM in the solution's future releases."
"The menu could be cleaned up."
"The application control feature requires improvement."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint could improve by making the reporting better."
"Phishing and Malware detection could be better."
"Threat intelligence has the potential for improvement, particularly by integrating more sources."
"Defender is free for one year. Once that year is over, we will switch to Kaspersky."
"I'm not too sure of its current capabilities, but I'm pretty sure they are doing a good job on Windows and Mac. However, I'm not sure whether they covered Linux. If I remember correctly, Microsoft Defender didn't have anything proper on Linux back then, but if they have improved it from that aspect, it would already be ticking all the boxes."
"Notifications are always popping up — I hate that."
"The time it takes to implement policies has room for improvement."
