We looked at ComodoOne for our helpdesk and some of the RMM stuff. The product works pretty good. Yes it's only cloud.
However their Sales team is HORRIBLE! I had to email management to get them to stop calling me multiple times a day.
We will never use the product due to the harassment we got from the sales team. 5 or 6 calls a day is crazy, and that doesn't count the 100's of emails.
I see. By the way why they call ? to introduce Enterprise version or other add ons ?
Do I need to append secondary email and secondary contact number
?Oh it would def. be smart... They really were VERY VERY annoying.

you can control Adobe reader and java with Chocolately. Flash is dead, bury it
for reals though, upgrade to Windows 10 and it manages Flash inside IE.Can you even run Flash inside Chrome anymore? I don't think you can.

I still can, but it's days are numbered.

Flash definitely comes with Chrome. It's built in.

I thought they announced that flash support is being depreciated, sometime soon, but I don't remember the source.

by 2017 it will be disabled by default, but it still baked in and can be enabled.

Recent installs of chrome do not have flash enabled by default, but the first time I go to a site that needs it, I see a loading screen.

I recommend PDQ Pro at a minumum. Don't worry your company will make their money back in a day or two considering how much time you will save.
Their free version is good, too. It just has too many restrictions. The nice part is you can start a 14 day trial once you learn how the free version works so you can make a good assessment. The good thing about the trial is you can activate it yourself and don't have to go through sales people for anything. I have never once had them harass me with sales because their product is so good and is very reasonably priced.

PDQ is awfully good. But for patching, why not use the OS itself or WSUS?

That works for OS level, but what about application level patching?

Does Comodo patch applications?

Yup.

@openit I may go with PDQ Deploy, specifically because my concern is about On-premises, whereas Comodo is only cloud.

Do you have a reason to be local vs using a cloud solution?
-
@Dashrender Not technically, but mentally maybe
I prefer to be local than cloud. -

I prefer to be local than cloud.While I can understand that - I know of many Exchange servers that have had zero no anticipated downtime, but you hear about outages in O365 all the time. Even so, the environment is still better in O365 than most if not all of the SMBs can provide.

Also WSUS is a disaster to deal with in a small business. More headache than it is worth really.

I generally avoid it. Lots of work, encourages people not to patch. In a big environment I totally get it, but in smaller ones, I skip it unless there is a very clear need.
