User Testimonials
	Cisco Secure Malware Analytics	HCL BigFix
Likelihood to Recommend	If you have a big organization that needs more advanced level security and you already use the sandbox and other security devices to secure your organization, then you should purchase this. It provides a lot of features, like analyzing the behavior of a file against millions of samples and billions of old and advanced-level malware artifacts. It identifies the key behavior of malware and its associated campaigns. Incentivized sitaram gurjar System Administrator Read full review	BigFix is well suited for patch review and deployment, but there are key features that can definitely be improved. An example is that if a specific patch is deployed, but a cumulative update that contains that patch is not deployed, the system still shows the patch as outstanding or not implemented. Another area for improvement is the customization of BigFix. The tool has many uses and can be extremely helpful, but the amount of knowledge required to customize the solution is significant and customized scripts or "fixlets" need to be created. If common things could be pre-packaged and provided to the customer community, it would allow for an easier deployment and use of the tool.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	While some support calls are quickly responded to, many times our engineers have been pointed to collaborative web sites such as Bigfix.me for solutions or the option of engaging professional services has been proposed. While this may seem like a good way to drive business, it is not seen as efficient a support process as could be provided to the customer base.
