It is very responsive to any indication of a possible threat reaching the end user's machine. Since we put it in place it has found thousands of potential infections that would have infected us via RATs, worms, emails, and malicious webpages

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It can detect malicious software even if it does not have a known signature in the endpoint database. Gives in-depth analysis on current and detected threats

What do you dislike most about this product?

A bit resource-intensive, especially on machines thta are a little older. I have seen it take up too many CPU cycles andd bog down the rest of the machine

Great product for any organization to have a standard level of security applied to the end user's machines. The price of the product is perfect and customer service is great as well
