What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It protects endpoint data and analyzes alerts from sources with just a single click to recognize the main reason and sequence of events. Thus, it protects from threats.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is a need to add some extra functionality and visibility inside the agents. Also, technical issues arise because of a lack of heart beats. It has high complexity due to it demands high resources and is hard to use. There is a need for full incorporation with Mac.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It supports Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android. It appropriately identifies the threats with behavioral analysis and then reveals the main reason to boost up the investigations. Incorporation with enforcement points maximizes containment that allows users to stop attacks. Its setup is very easy and is better to use as it enables quick updates. It provides zero-day spyware security and has made the solution safe. It has a fantastic GUI. It has the ability to correlate logs and events automatically. This is truly beneficial for an IT administrator.
