Poll: Comodo Internet Security Suite [Closed]

[Guest]

Bundle everything, but at installation, setup may ask for what you wish to install.

If it will have a control center, i think that everything should be on one place.

It would be pretty good, if the Firewall and Antivirus (w/ boclean) could smartly work together.

[Sygate was cool]

I didn't vote as I am unclear exactly what you mean by"suite" - thoughts of Norton/Symantec are really negative.

No - I don't want Comodo to end up like Norton/Symantec.

I am using the comodo firewall and anti virus at the moment. Am I being asked if I want a shell for these two? The answer is no thanks.

I see no benefit of a "suite".

Comodo - avoid the "bloat" trap of Norton/Symantec and ZoneAlarm.

If you just want the firewall, you can choose that, and not install anything else.

[~cat~]

"Security Suites", the recent darlings of the industry, have historically been clusterducks with conflicts and configuration problems that aggravate experienced users and lead to them being uninstalled by "normal" users (read anyone not invested in the product).
That said, if anyone can pull it off (creating a usable suite) it would be the Comodo crew.
Personally I prefer stand alone apps and believe they should continue to be offered as such allowing users to install and update according to their individual needs and preferences.

[Rednose]

I prefer stand alone applications too. It is also easier when you want install/uninstall a certain application. Think for example about the BETA testers. At least I don't want to be forced into a "Security Suite".

This "suite" bloat is not a problem as it used to be, this "problem" from what i know was originally invented by Symantec with their Home range of products.  Even Symantec as far as i know have fixed these issues.

[weaker]

LOL, Norton "invented" the bloat 
I think they haven't fixed that bloat issue: http://www.thepcspy.com/articles/other/what_really_slows_windows_down/5

[Rotty]

The problem that they seem to have originally created was "Bloat created by making a suite" bloat was invented in code well before Symantec came along.  Maybe McAfee beat them, not sure on that.

Not to sell Symantec products but they have fixed allot of performance issues with the 2007 range of their products from what i have heard.

[vläd]

As long as the stand alone products remain available, I think a suite of products would be a good idea.

If the purpose of the product suite is to replace the stand alone products, then I vote NO on the proposal of the suite.

License Kaspersky virus engine like others do + Comodo firewall.

ESQAN: exploitable firewall + KAV
Zonealarn: somewhat good firewall + KAV
ESET: nod32, lightwheight and efficient
GDATA: the best protection since it uses bitdefender/kav combination
F-Secure: good, but u need 2 ghz comp and 1GB of ram

This poll has been very interesting and I would like to expand if further if I may pls.

There has been few people who needed more clarificatino about what we mean when we say: Internet Security Suite.

I would like to suggest that we run another poll with expanded definitions to see the reaction.

Here are my suggestion:

Internet Security suite: lets call it Comodo Security Center (CSC) (he he) has the following Features:

1)User can install individual components (just want firewall.. you just get firewall)
2)User can install different components and manage them from CSC (hence removing the hassle of jumping from app to app) So you get the best of both worlds, if you just want the app you just get that, if you have multiple app from Comodo, you have a much more efficient system (without comprimising security)

Can we please run another poll putting the above definition and see if people want it or not.

thank you

I can, but before that, based on your 2 suggestions it wouldn't be a traditional "suite" anymore, would it?  It almost seems like you're picturing a special installer that's big because it potentially contains several applications in it.  If my interpretation of that is correct then surely the majority will go for it irregardless because it's so flexible and it can satisfy both parties, no?  This seems similar to LaunchPad, but I don't know since I've never installed it (it was gone by the time I've joined the CFP crew).

This is my personal take on it, but if there's any concern with this is that it'll be more challenging to integrate the products, which would be what a traditional suite is (i.e. they work together and help each other, like if CAVS fails to detect a malware then CFP will be able to because it's working on a different level)

yes
Flexible.. very very flexible..and why not!

Ok.  If it's just a customized installer that allows the user to choose which Comodo application(s) to install then I can safely assume very few, if any individual, will have complaints other than the file maybe too big to download .  This is based on my observations of the posts of those who voted against a (traditional) suite in this thread.  However, if you still insist on a new poll thread I'll be happy to open it

This will be excellent starting mark for Comodo to expand its communication to all users that there are other interesting/useful applications available to them.

[Little Mac]

1)User can install individual components (just want firewall.. you just get firewall)

2)User can install different components and manage them from CSC (hence removing the hassle of jumping from app to app)

So you get the best of both worlds, if you just want the app you just get that, if you have multiple app from Comodo, you have a much more efficient system (without comprimising security)

This makes it sound that if you want multiple applications, they would have to be controlled by the "suite."

Is there an option to have multiple applications, AND have them controlled individually? (ie, no integrated controller/management system at all)
