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 real strength lies in its straightforward approach, offering just two key policies: prevention and detection.""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 most valuable feature is the endpoint protection system.""Good file integrity monitoring features.""The advantage of Data Center Security is its ease of use and that it serves as a single unified platform, where I can apply all my security policies to protect that server.""The ability to finely control permissions and restrictions on servers or assets through a customizable rule set is a key strength.""We use the product to prevent unauthorized access to data, systems, and servers. It provides essential features for data center security."

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 →

"It would be advantageous if Symantec or Broadcom, given the rebranding, could simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the antivirus functionality more easily.""The support is very bad. They're not fast at all. Trend Micro's support is much better.""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.""There is room for improvement in enhancing its graphical user interface for a more user-friendly experience.""Could have better reporting capabilities and better support.""There is plenty of room for improvement with this product, and it could start with platform metrics.""The product blocks certain processes, even after allowlisting them.""A user or administrator making the policy in the DCS should have a very thorough knowledge of the operating system or policy making. You have to be very specific about the data structure."
