My favorite aspect is that it is not a software that only relies on the protection of endpoints at the enterprise level but also maintains secure remote access and offers solutions against infected endpoints which helps to prevent the enterprise system from being destabilized by an outbreak, it is also easy to configure software so it does not require much time before such a process.
