CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise security teams running mixed Windows and Mac fleets will get the most from Absolute Resilience because it actually fixes broken endpoints without waiting for tickets, using firmware-level recovery that survives OS corruption. The platform covers NIST RC.RP incident recovery and RS.MI mitigation through autonomous app repair and device rehydration from trusted images, meaning your team stops triaging and starts restoring at scale. Skip this if your priority is detection and threat hunting; Absolute is explicitly built for resilience and recovery, not visibility into active threats.
Startup founders and small teams with non-technical staff should pick PC Matic for its default-deny allowlisting model, which stops unknown executables before they run, eliminating the detection-delay problem that plagues signature-based antivirus. The SuperShield allowlist approach covers NIST PR.PS (platform security) by preventing malware execution at the source rather than relying on post-infection detection. Skip this if your team needs EDR-grade visibility into threat behavior or compliance reporting; PC Matic trades forensic depth for simplicity, which works fine for preventing infections but not for investigating them after they happen.
