We encountered issues related to the HES file and their engines, as they only added virus definitions without making significant changes to their main framework or engine.

The initial setup is straightforward, especially for experienced users who find it easy to handle. However, for newcomers with only a month or two of experience, there might be a learning curve as they familiarize themselves with the process.

Implementing the tool itself poses no issues. I've successfully created the GPO and installed it without any problems.

We've deployed it using two different methods. First, I established a Group Policy Object to deploy it, and second, we utilized Intune. Following deployment, the machines are promptly visible on the portal. However, configuring additional settings is not a one-day task; it requires understanding user requirements and preferences. The complexity of the setup depends on the level of detail and customization desired.

Initially, I deployed the solution on ten testing machines, comprising both servers and local devices. It took approximately two days to configure and fine-tune the setup before finalizing it for deployment across the organization. As the sole manager responsible for both security and system management, I oversaw the entire process. With multiple branches across different locations, totaling eighteen, efficiency was crucial. One notable advantage is the small footprint of the endpoint engine, typically ranging from forty to seventy megabytes, ensuring minimal bandwidth and resource consumption compared to other antivirus solutions. Maintenance is minimal. I typically monitor the machines to ensure they remain active. If a machine has been inactive for more than ten days, it's flagged and moved to a separate section on the portal for review.

We've observed a positive return on investment. Additionally, we utilize Microsoft Defender Endpoint with our Microsoft Elastic 365 license. Despite having multiple options, it's noteworthy that the CrowdStrike Falcon solution often detects threats before Microsoft Defender.

The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options. The best aspect is that there's a single price for all types of endpoints. There's no need to purchase separate licenses for servers and Windows systems.
