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."The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size.

"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Technology evolves every day, so it would be nice if it gets more secure. It can also have more integration with other platforms."
"A little bit more automation would be nice."
