Featured Reviews

Bella Yakoby - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers third-party patching feature, good scalability, and enhance endpoint management capabilities
From the perspective of the team that's handling the environment, it's not so user-friendly compared to other solutions, the competitors. We hire new teams from time to time, and they are complaining, look, although BigFix is very robust and cross-platform, it's not so fun to work with. The user interface for the technical teams is not so advanced. It's not so intuitive compared to SCCM, compared to ManageEngine. And this is the fact that they have, with the teams, because they have the rejection. The look and feel of the system are old-fashioned. For new employees, it's less easy to find someone I don't need to educate on how to work with BigFix. Although it's easy, it's not as intuitive as the other solutions, and the functionality of the other solutions is less advanced. Let's summarize: The user interface has to be changed from the perspective of the teams that are managing the product. It's old school.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows us to quickly deploy capabilities that we need, whether it be security or non-security. We use it to keep systems up to date, deploy new drivers, find the information we need in the case of security incidents. The capability allows us to gather a lot of information very quickly and it also allows us to have a centralized reporting feature and a centralized deployment capability which is nice."
"It has improved reliability upon delivery of software and has also helped reduce software expenses. The extensibility of BigFix helps to create custom solutions where we may have considered purchasing something instead."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"I think BigFix is a very good solution, and I rate it ten out of ten."
"Before we had BigFix, we had problems with some malware. BigFix allows us to immediately patch all instances of endpoints that were vulnerable to antivirus and initiate scans. That's key."
"Prior to BigFix we used Altiris, which was distributed. We had to manage multiple servers, and duplicate the tasks that we did on each server. BigFix tremendously reduced the amount of work that we had to do on each server in a centralized manner. We could minimize the work that we had to do, and we had a lot more control over the tasks and what machines they ran on."
"Servers are patched more consistently than they have been previously."
"It allows for visibility into the OT, the industrial environments, that didn't exist before which is a big piece and has benefited my organization. Second, the speed at which people can patch is night and day versus SCCM scan or another similar solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"I would eventually like to see a SaaS offering, a cloud-hosted BigFix instance where we only have to put a relay in our environment."
"In-place and OS upgrades can be improved."
"Maybe the online help could be improved. It'd be nice if you would have a lot more phrases and keywords that you could search for and find answers with the help."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"It could use better integration with Hypervisor products like VMware."
"Sometimes the workstations communicate back to the BigFix server two or three days in a week or something similar. Sometimes there can be a delay reporting back to the server for a variety of reasons, such as users turning their computer off when they go home. When the user comes back and turns the computer back on BigFix needs to synchronize and sometimes it can take some time, approximately one week. The communication between the agent and the server should be faster, there is room for improvement in this area."
"Relay selection and availability needs improvement as an incorrect relay selected can cause network chokes."
"The reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The interface is slow."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable, but our customers find it expensive."
"I would stay with the Managed Virtual Server license model, which is a 1-to-1 license per OS whether it is virtual or physical."
"Compliance, inventory, and licensing are really pricey. They should lower the price. It discourages users from getting onboard."
"So, the pricing is slightly more expensive than the others. I have to keep buying licenses every time I add a new device."
"You are charged per server and per workstation when using BigFix. ManageEngine is a lot cheaper than BigFix. There are some additional costs, such as support."
"The price is very fair."
"Its price is very reasonable."
"You get what we call the Platform Edition, which you get for free. The patch service is maybe $0.50 per workstation per month. Then there's the basic server cost, which is about $1.50 per server per month. You also get into Lifecycle which does power management, OSD remote control, and those types of things, and that might be about 10 times the price - which works out to about $13 per server and, maybe $5 per workstation per month."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
