The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network.

The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering.

When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly.

The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good.

This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them.

The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger.

It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good.
