Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite vs PC Matic

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is endpoint security software for protecting corporate network nodes. Administrators manage protection through the Control Center from an internet-connected computer or device, including mobile devices. The anti-virus server supports remote deployment and updates, security monitoring, incident notifications and statistics collection. The suite includes products for desktops and laptops, servers, email, internet gateways and Android devices. Administrators can restrict access to removable storage, local network folders and the Internet, and the Control Center supports networks without Internet access. Listed integrations include Windows NAP, Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server; the suite can also connect with SIEM solutions. Doctor Web describes heuristic, behavioural, preventive and machine-learning detection, including preventive blocking of suspicious programs before their definitions are in the virus database. The Control Center also describes a light-agent mode that assigns some anti-virus work to a VM service. Licensing periods are one, two or three years, with totals calculated after product selections; price depends on protected stations, including servers, and is available by quote. A free business trial covers up to 40 objects for 30 days.

PC Matic provides antivirus and endpoint security for home and business users on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Its SuperShield protection uses real-time application allowlisting and a default-deny approach that blocks unknown applications. PC Matic says this can stop ransomware before execution; it also describes using heuristics to block malicious scripts that call tools such as PowerShell. On Windows PCs, scans can run maintenance including software and driver updates, junk-file removal, and fixes for software vulnerabilities. Consumer plans list malicious ad and scam blocking and dark web monitoring; the family identity plan adds identity theft insurance and stolen funds reimbursement, each up to $1M. PC Matic Pro applies default-deny allowlisting to applications, scripts, and processes, and can sit alongside other endpoint security solutions. The consumer page lists a free plan and free trial. Paid annual options include Antivirus at $60 a year, Antivirus + VPN at $110 a year, and Antivirus + VPN + Family Identity Protection at $210 a year.
