Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Overall, this is a good solution that scales well. It is easily deployed and is non intrusive on systems."

More Cavirin Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system.""The most valuable feature is the centralized console, which can handle different products that we have.""The console and tools are very user-friendly.""The monitoring in the management console allows us to find out what is going wrong, and it gets reports even before the user reports it.""The tool will then detect any anomalies, such as an intruder who has breached the network, which can trigger the system lockdown feature if it's enabled and meets the defined threshold.""The granularity of applying the policies is valuable.""Good file integrity monitoring features.""The real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection."

Cons
"The reporting for this solution could be improved. In a future release, we would like to have an extension into the on-prem for CIS in compliance reporting."

More Cavirin Cons →

"Adding more compatibility with common products like Microsoft would be a plus.""There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience.""Agent management is a challenging task.""This solution clashes with Microsoft defender, which results in performance degradation on the machine.""It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily.""They need to develop a more flexible product that can be scaled such that it fits well into a small business or a bigger, enterprise-level solution.""The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them.""The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better."
