[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 883019, member: 72439"] I think you're being a little hard on SEP. In the most recent MRG test, published 30 Jan 2020, SEP finished pretty much like it always has.... as one of the top performers. [ATTACH type="full" width="391px" alt="1589810147661.png"]240248[/ATTACH] About getting CrowdStrike Falcon unmanaged endpoint... hmmm... I thought I remembered Falcon becoming available to consumers -- much the same way that Cylance started selling individual consumer licenses. But when I just looked, I see no indication of that. I've gotten multiple licenses over the years in two different ways. First, I work for a very large organization -- and the AV vendors really really want our business. So sometimes they sprinkle licenses around for some of us as part of their sales process. Sometimes they are just short trial licenses.. or in some cases -- like Cylance, they gave me a 10-User license that seems to be a perpetual license after going more than 4 years. I've had SEP for over 7 years. Carbon Black for a couple of years. I used to be really enthusiastic about trying everything that I got my hands on. Since I've never gotten rid of a computer, I run a whole lot of different products on different systems just 'for fun.' Although it's less fun than it used to be. I've 'gotten over it' to some degree. And the other way to get the enterprise-grade stuff -- my organization buys quite a few enterprise licenses -- to check compatibility and interoperability with proprietary systems. And sometimes when an enterprise system is purchased -- they will give a certain number of adapted unmanaged endpoint licenses for home use. So I always angle to get the cool stuff to try out.. No kidding. Some things with little basis get repeated over and over and over.... And there is often little point in correction. People often believe what they want to believe. Confirmation bias. Exactly. I'm the first person to say that Symantec and Norton may be changing direction based on corporate instability. But there is no definitive evidence of that yet.
