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

Pros

"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
"The only area for improvement is regarding operational technology devices, specifically the engineering automation systems."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
