Pros

“The initial web protection settings can be slightly overzealous, occasionally flagging safe internal sites or harmless downloads until you build out proper exclusions.”

SR SYS Admin

“At work we use it mainly for scanning and catching suspicious stuff, and it doesn’t slow down the system like some other security tools I’ve tried.”

“Missed too many obvious security hazards and required secondary software to fill the gaps in its endpoint protection.”

Cons

“A few times it flagged safe files as suspicious, so I had to whitelist them manually.”
