Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.
Arunachalam S. - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good monitoring features but needs to improve the support services offered
The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux. The XDR and licensing parts of the tool are also areas of concern where improvements are required. XDR is for extensive detection and range of response. Jamf relies on signature-based access. If it is a known signature that just protects our devices, it is a kind of threat isolation. The tool does have behavioral analysis, but as the severity becomes less, the system gets loaded. It is not the same with CrowdStrike as it has a variety of strategies and is a fully cloud-native tool, which helps it to make sure it is a leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant. CrowdStrike goes with its set of practicalities. The kind of threat intelligence CrowdStrike follows is really expensive. With CrowdStrike, we can see which factors have been targeted in our organization. If we know our enemy, then it becomes so easy to cover up with the defense mechanism. The features in CrowdStrike get lagged when used with Jamf Protect. With Jamf Protect, there is a need to improve the security it offers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The solution can scale well."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and as simple as CrowdStrike."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
 

Cons

"It could download faster during deployment."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"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 could improve by providing more security."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
