Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"The solution is completely scalable."
"The solution, especially in older versions, is quite stable."
"The solution is easy to use"
"Endpoint protection has improved our operations by protecting our servers from potential cyber threats."
"The administrator's console is very good and easy to manage with it. Deploying patches, definition updates and report is simple."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There are no issues with scalability."
"One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
