A stable solution that makes use of artificial intelligence while also providing container technology to its users
I rate the initial setup phase of the product a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises. When I say that it is deployed on the cloud, I mean to say that I use it as an MSSP service, allowing us to keep the administrative portal with us, because of which it doesn't actually get deployed on the cloud. Our company administers the product remotely. The solution can be deployed in half an hour.
Sumit Chavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.
