"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."

"The solution’s technical support is not very good and could be improved."
"This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it."
"The solution should improve its mobile management solution."
"The solution's device control options are not too beneficial."
"I cannot recall noticing any missing features."
