Avast CloudCare vs. Citrix Endpoint Management

Avast CloudCare is great when it comes to ease of installation and GUI. Working inside the web portal is pretty self-intuitive. Some of the issues revolve around computers coming up missing from the portal or from computer jumping sites.

• security: it allows remote wipe of a device
• compartmentalization: when xenmobile is on the device, it can setup its own client, or have a set portion of the local mail client.
• mobile support: with a web-based admin portal, no software needs to be setup on a PC to admin remotely [good for on-call techs]

• The base web portal as it is going away at the end of the year.
• Tech help is very lacking.
• Several times computers lost the AV and had to be reinstalled.

The software's usability is what we expected. We knew what our organization needed and Citrix was able to meet our needs. The ability to have the apps on a mobile device has been a great plus and Citrix seems to have really developed a software based on the every day needs of the user.

Overall the support from the customer service team has been good. They are very timely and expert in resolving the tickets. They have appropriate knowledge to resolve issues in all stages to development. They were up to the point during the implementation stage of the XenMobile, all queries were answered in time to help finish the deployment. The support for last three years has been extraordinary in helping us use XenMobile effectively and efficiently.

CloudCare is proactive and better suited for my clients overall.

Because of its flexible configuration, XenMobile was a much better fit for us. ZixOne was a reliable, functional MDM product but only functioned in a sandboxed environment. Despite being sandboxed, it was able to push contacts into the native app; however, it could not do the same with calendar data which was where our providers had the biggest heartburn. They could handle segregation of email but did not like having to review two separate calendar applications.

• Positive: we have our customers supported better than ever
• Negative: But not really, we have lost billable time due to our customers having [fewer] virus infections than ever before.
• We had one incident where we had to credit a customer because the backup failed and did not report correctly and the customer lost some data.

Incentivized

• It provided more safer environment to access corporate emails on personal device. This reduced costs for VPN and access control measures.
• Most features are compliant with organizational security features, this reduced costs in third party vendor softwares.
• Web based admin control portal is very efficient, there is no need to install desktop client for admin control. This saved a lot of time during initial deployment.
