Zoho Endpoint Central is a unified endpoint management and security platform that enables organizations to manage, monitor, and protect their devices from a centralized console.
It provides patch and vulnerability management, software deployment, asset management, remote support, mobile device management, as well as anti-malware protection and EDR capabilities for incident detection and response.
By combining IT administration and endpoint security, Endpoint Central helps IT teams reduce complexity, improve visibility, and respond more effectively to cyber threats.
Let’s take a closer look at all of this.
NB : New intro and new layout—I want to hear ALL your thoughts!
Interface :
The installation is quite difficult; you have to install an agent (which isn't easy to find) and then wait for Zoho to download and install the modules.
There is a version that is for management only; we chose the version that also includes antimalware.
The suite is fairly lightweight.
Malware URL : 8/9
One URL is dead.
The rest are blocked by the antimalware, including one by its EDR; the infection does not take hold.
Malware Pack : 44 out of 162 threats remain
Zoho's antimalware database is pretty good; it does a good job of detecting payloads and other files.
However, when it comes to more targeted attacks via VBS/JS, Zoho falls short.
Even though it managed to block several attacks, the machine gets infected very quickly, and two system processes are compromised....
It’s a bit of a mixed bag; I’m not entirely convinced.
It’s worth noting that Zoho also generates quite a few false positives—it deleted two of my disinfection tools!
Final scan :
Zoho : 2
Symantec : Could not be launched (Removed by Zoho Behavior)
Emsisoft : Could not be launched (Removed by Zoho Behavior)
KVRT : 14 (Memory infected !!)
Final opinion:
Very mixed results.
The software is a nightmare to install. If an error occurs, Zoho doesn't specify which components are missing. Especially since their guide is rather confusing.
The antimalware engine is pretty good overall.
Things get complicated when attacks occur. Even though the software managed to block various attacks, many slip through undetected and manage to infect the system.
