Horrible how? I've always thought they were pretty solid in the arena.

Their ftrace hooks caused all disk usage to be serialized, making your multi-core processor single-core when doing anything I/O bound

We saw between 500% - 800% increases in build times with their software installed

Well, that's spectacular. What do you guys use now?

We're still using them on machines where performance doesn't matter

On build machines, they're on a special VLAN and don't have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror

We have a similar issue with defender, but those machines are internet connected, so we must have EDR on them.
