Protects all of out devices from cyberattacks
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution is stable."
  • "Reaching their support team can be difficult."

What needs improvement?

Over the years, I have learned that we always need to keep updating our OS — especially Windows. Any application that sits on Windows needs to be updated. This allows us to better detect and remove any infections. Sometimes, there are a few infections that we can't get rid of. In this case, we have to find another way to clean up the registry; otherwise, we have to reinstall everything again.

In terms of the interface, I prefer something that is simple without so much color. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for the last 10 years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

How are customer service and support?

Reaching their support team can be difficult. I've dealt with Sophos before; they were quite responsive to our issues.
