Pros
Since having it we have not had any issues with viruses so I do like and I do recommend it.
We really had thought we found a great endpoint protection suite, with some MSP features built-in. I think in retrospect the thing we liked most is it looked good in a demo environment.
Very powerful and offer many security solutions. Once installed and the account set up works like a clock.
Wonderful endpoint that helps manage a large scale of users in a group.
Cons
It restricts and contains every application and file which are likely to be infected into the sandbox. It uses API hooking to track virus behavior.
I have found this as a consistent problem both on my pc and on my notebook and on various customer computers.
Initial setup is confusing. Some of the categories and options are worded strangely to where you at first glance have to guess or navigate around until you can find what you're looking for.
The use of this software to manage large scale users helped in finding which problems were the most common as well as which users caused the most problems with viruses.

"Advanced protection solution against malware"
Overall: It provides sophisticated cyber threat protection against both known and unknown ransomware by denying all applications unless it scans them for any suspected malware. It restricts and contains every application and file which are likely to be infected into the sandbox. It uses API hooking to track virus behavior. It also provides anti-theft features and allows you to wipe data from your stolen device. You can protect both your virtual and physical endpoints.
Pros: This program allows its users to manage all the computers used in a company from one host computer where you can make policies form a single computer and apply them to all the connected computers and devices. This reduces the time consumption and extended manual efforts of users. It acts as antivirus and protects your systems from any bad or infected files by moving them to whitelists or blacklists accordingly.
Cons: It automatically restricts all applications in sandbox containers and you have to manually add such applications to whitelists, also it seems to be incapable of recognizing any new or custom-built applications. Patch management for multiple servers seems a little problematic. Overall it is worth recommending to all the organizations to keep full end security.
"Endpoint Security Manager"
Overall: I like the product. It feature reach and include every security component that need to be installed on the host
Pros: We start using Comodo almost years ago, when we switch from Symantec Endpoint Manager. Ability to have Cloud Management, and also run unknown files in containers attract me to try the product. Since we implement a product number of reported incidents decreased a lot
Cons: After device was off-line for long period of time, automatic definitions download doesn't work perfectly most of the time and you need to initiate it manually
"Comodo - Lacks product value"
Overall: Overall we transitioned to ESET as we found greater value for the cost from ESET. The management, product removal and security analysis was lacking and after the decision to remove the product from our systems proved troublesome and resulted in malfunction in our systems.
Pros: The product was very resilient against attempt to uninstall or disable the security software. Normally a very good sign for a product in security.
Cons: We found the product was inefficient and that the resilience against removal cause malfunction in our systems when trying to perform uninstall performed by system administrator. In addition we found the features offered were lack luster for the cost.
"Comodo for Business"
Overall: Comodo is definitely focused solely on functionality. It provides every business should need from a security standpoint.
Pros: This software is great for IT administrators. It allows complete control over patching and security on installed devices and is a great anti-virus on top of that.
Cons: This is not end-user friendly. The UI is not pretty or fancy.
"Review"
Pros: The biggest positive aspects of this antivirus application are that it is free, allows for understandable use, has a high level of threat detection, and quick response from customer service.
Cons: Obviously, the application does not have many negative aspects, but a little more improvement can be made in the network security part.
"Was ok as a free solution"
Overall: It was ok, not great. When it worked it was fine but would randomly stop.
Pros: It was free, despite the bugs, can't argue with free.
Cons: Buggy, sometimes it'd randomly stop working. Can't search service desk ticket bodies, only subjects >.> Remote Desktop and file sharing were inconsistent.
"Zero Threat!"
Overall: My overall experience of this kind of software is good. It's essential to its endpoint detection of cyberattacks and it's management also included.
Pros: It's a good idea and best solutions to secure and defend your data against cyberattacks and complications from other malware.
Cons: I have nothing to say against this tools. It's just it is nice to use .
"This does more than you think!"
Overall: I purchased this software for endpoint security and some other things. What I got not only gave me much needed visibility over my network and workstations. It also helped me get a handle on my ticketing system.
Pros: I purchased this software for endpoint security and some other things. What I got not only gave me much needed visibility over my network and workstations. It also helped me get a handle on my ticketing system. Being a Medium sized business I never had anything that integrated into my workflow and made it even more efficient. I still learning about the other management options that came with the software. Remote Control is something else you get. It's awesome! Implementation was a snap with 100% guided support.
Cons: Haven't really found any downfalls. Stayed tuned. Anything I have had a question about was resolved quickly through tech database or just a phone call.
"Comodo One is awesome"
Overall: it is a fantastic network, endpoint discovery and management tool
Pros: Network Discovery. Remote control tool is amazing, Free tools. Free to use for single admin. absolutely love it for my systems management
Cons: Web dashboard can be a little laggy at times. but for free, I can live with it.
"Review on Comodo one itsm"
Overall: Comodo One helps in solving malware issues and it has been useful especially because of its cloud services relieving us in our company of on-premise stress
Pros: I was using Comodo at one my system at a point in time(licensed) and I wanted to install a cracked software. The software wasn't able a install till i uninstalled comodo(i was the administrator). I knew back then comodo is very effective and efficient. I also like the fact that you must add abuser before you get to add their devices. This gives you an accountability for everyone connected to the endpoints.
Cons: Comodo makes system hang a lot. It is also not flexible to use.
"Has a few quirks that need to be worked on but great software "
Overall: From just the free software with no add-ons I am able to monitor and take care of company computers in house and remotely from my desk. When it works as it is suppose to, installing software for employees remotely without needing to walk them through it saves a ton of time. Being able to remote into an employees computer to see what problems they are experiencing instead of relying on screenshots and descriptions is extremely helpful as well.
Pros: The fact that the base software is free and allows remote access, resource monitoring, patch management, silent software installs, monitoring and management of not only computers and servers but android and iOS operating systems is amazing. Remoting into systems you have in your device list is incredibly easy and even supports multiple monitor setups. You can create templates per device type, separate different groups of machines into their own "Companies" to keep different customers grouped together so organization is pretty top notch. The remote system installation is so quick and simple that even the most computer illiterate people should have zero problem installing it themselves. Even in the free software you can brand everything to match your company so that it suits your needs.
Cons: Initial setup is confusing. Some of the categories and options are worded strangely to where you at first glance have to guess or navigate around until you can find what you're looking for. There have been a quite a few times where I have tried to remotely remove software from machines and for majority of the machines given the uninstall command it works, however there are several left with software that was suppose to be removed. A notification that actually verifies if what you told the software to do succeeded or not would be great but most of the time, once a command is issued it only tells you the command was issued successfully, not that the command actually did what it was suppose to which ends up causing more time to be spent trying to diagnose why the software wasn't removed. Many of our machines slowed down to unusable levels as the add-ons for real-time monitoring constantly were eating up over 50% of some of our machines system resources. For approximately 5 machines the software worked great but these machines each had over 16gb of ram, solid state drives, and i7 processors. The machines we had issues with ranged from i3 processors to i5 processors with 4-8gb of ram and windows 7/10. Customer service is nice enough but I feel they don't do more than they are required to do assist customers. I was told to contact different departments 4 times back and forth to cancel the subscription for the add ons and they still haven't been cancelled after 3 weeks.
"Protect and Manage all your endpoints onsite and offsite from one central portal"
Overall: Great, secure anti-virus which is centrally managed.
Pros: This is a great security software that protects by using Whitelisting instead of Blacklisting. Regular anti-viruses, during updates, send list of blacklisted items to block. Comodo works by everything being blacklisted except things that are whitelisted by them or by you. They also allow files that are digitally signed. Anything not whitelisted is either sandboxed or blocked. Sandboxed items can run but actually have no access to your computers real hard drive so if it does try to infect your computer, it doesn't have real access to it.
Cons: What i find i like least about the software is that you do have to put a little bit of extra time into some things as it may block legitimate software if it is not digitally signed but you can fix that by manually whitelisting it yourself, which can whitelist that file or software across your whole network if you want. But once you have made up your company whitelist, everything runs smoothly and you feel secure knowing that your end users are protected and your network is too.
"Poorly enigineered product"
Overall: In one word Terrible
Pros: We really had thought we found a great endpoint protection suite, with some MSP features built-in. I think in retrospect the thing we liked most is it looked good in a demo environment
Cons: The product requires way too much configuration, once you're done if they roll out an update hopefully you back up your config or you are going to do it all over again. You end up with such big holes in you end points just to get things like scheduled tasks to run. Oh you want to read an Adobe document from the internet, you better exclude the temp directory otherwise your going to have errors running Adobe. They allow you to categorize software to trusted but the comodo rating never changes so if they think its bad and it is say a piece of intellectual software your company wrote, good luck create all the exclusions you want Comodo will always block the program. Not today or tomorrow but within a few weeks you're going to have to re-allow the software. This is happening on servers without a containment policy. We have been is business for over 50 years and worked with lots of AV providers in that time. Comodo is not ready for Production use, period. If you explain to them the situation they go directly back to setting exclusions again and again. As per my previous comments this is not a permanent solution
"Free Firewall is fantastic!"
Overall: I've been using the free Comodo Firewall for years now. It's great to protect your home PCs! It's very easy to add apps as "allowed applications" and if you want to get technical, you can allow certain ports, etc.
Pros: Easy to use firewall solution. Easy to add applications, easy to open specific port(s), etc.
Cons: When first installed, it pops up asking to allow access for EVERYTHING you or your PC does launches, etc.
"Keeps us safe!"
Overall: We had a problem with things slipping past our former antivirus software. Comodo One has stopped everything, and keeps our computer safe.
Pros: Easy to set up, runs on its own after set up.
Cons: Nothing, really. We have had no trouble with it at all.
"Wonderful endpoint that helps manage a large scale of users in a group."
Overall: The use of this software to manage large scale users helped in finding which problems were the most common as well as which users caused the most problems with viruses.
Pros: The ability to generate reports with detailed information about hardware, software and virus activity. The control panel is easy to navigate and use, which helps when needing to take care of multiple users at a single time.
Cons: The software can be a little difficult to update or patch. With having to visit the tech support to help patch our server multiple times we have feared any upcoming updates.
"one.comodo.com"
Overall: Owner of Anytime-Computers.com
Pros: Features & functionality & price -- FREE
Cons: Full endpoint protection costs. After the initial setup, it's easy to follow
"It is an antivirus with network options remotely."
Pros: I can remotely manage access to the web, it indicates what kind of information can be accessed and the applications I want the user to be able to use on their computer.
Cons: It blocks some applications without being indicated for some periods, in the same way the user without needing to know the password can disable it in some sections.
"Comodo is your antivirus solution"
Overall: It is a great software and it is one of the best in the market but the process and communication with customer service is not an easy task.
Pros: It is a great software. Very powerful and offer many security solutions. Once installed and the account set up works like a clock
Cons: The set up got a little bit complicated. The communication was not not smooth and it was a challenge to get thru them. The validation team may denied the account because it doesn't get in touch with you.
"Comodo One Platform"
Overall: The software resolve to major problems: Security Suite and Remote management Access. It has a lot of modules, which make life of system administrator much easier.
Pros: The software is like a suite of products. which has security portions, remote management part, help desk part, system management and many other parts. It is pretty easy to navigate from one part of the suite to another one, especially when many parts are highly integrated
Cons: Remote software deployment doesn't work most of the time. Remote connection do not re-established automatically after endpoint restart. In most of the cases there are minor issues, and I am satisfied with software overall
"COMODO ONE as an MSP tool will blow you away!"
Overall: GREAT COST OF OWNERSHIP! $0
Pros: COMODO ONE is feature rich, OS and browser agnostic and fully manageable. Mobile OS support, anti-virus, malware protection and software deployment are only the start.
Cons: Honestly, as a free tool, it is difficult to complain. So far the only thing that was 'difficult to overcome' was the setup. Being free there is no support, so Google and the Knowledge Base are your friends. Also, you have to quote the add-ons. Not painful but would be nice to know.
"Perfect Solution for a Small Business"
Overall: I use Comodo Endpoint Security in conjunction with Comodo One to protect and manage all of the computers in our small business. It is very effective and I got it for free, so you can't beat that. Plus, it has a ton of features, as well as some separate ad-ons available for purchase.
Pros: Centralized control and management of all the computers on my network. I love that I can see the status of every machine without ever leaving my office.
Cons: The auto-sandbox feature is sometimes troublesome. We have some custom software for our business that Comodo does not seem to like, even after being added to the trusted list.
"Excellent remote software and Scanning"
Pros: This is perfect for remote software and security scans. I use this on a daily basis and it is a easy product with a security focus on it.
Cons: The newest update to remote system requires you to sign into comodo from the browser to launch the remote software. Would have been alright if a change log was sent out saying what is happening with the changes.
"An innovative solution for IT operations"
Overall: This software has helped our IT infrastructure greatly by allowing us to push instant updates to all of our devices
Pros: - It's completely free - It's an all in one IT solution - You can customize the way your infrastructure is set up - Dispatch custom procedures to x amount of devices - Comodo is constantly taking feedback from users and adding features as requested - A true bang for your buck - Helpful forums
Cons: - Not too many features since fairly new product - Sometimes buggy/slow - If pro version is needed, fairly pricy
"excellent antivirus"
Overall: we have had no issues with using comodo. every once in a while, it notifies us of anything it isolated so we can decide what to do with them. it works great, especially for free software.
Pros: Our IT contractor recommended this free anitvirus software. it does the job without being intrusive.
Cons: we are not entirely sure what to do with some of the items it isolates. the options aren't always easy to figure out.
