Pros

“I can control most endpoint management tasks from one centralized portal — patching, software deployment, asset tracking, and remote troubleshooting all live under a single console.”
MZ

Mohamed Z.

System Administrator

“We found that if workstation has agent from "previous installation" (for example, from some historical not cleaned PoC) and there is no "previous" Endpoint Central server available - the only option is to gather data using special tool, send it to support and receive specific cleaning tool, otherwise you can't install "current" agent.”

Ilya I.

Cybersecurity Implementation Expert

“The automation features significantly reduce repetitive tasks, and the remote troubleshooting tools are especially valuable in managing distributed environments. Although the interface and advanced configurations may take some time to get familiar with, the overall performance and feature set make it a reliable endpoint management solution.”

Cons

“We have had a couple of issues with watchguard in the past when they update their systems, this caused an outage across the whole system but there were ways around it.”

“I'd like a cheaper prize, but the other vendors are even more expensive.”

“The alerting can be a little redundant and repetitive, Malware URL alerts are all but useless - or at least the ones we get. ”
