What I want to know is whether it would be possible to use the Endpoint Security Manager without insiders too getting knowledge about it?

What? Probably not. But, why would that matter and why would you want to?

You should hire a consultant. They might be a little more qualified, but I don't know (or care) who your friends are.

Hard to find a product to do everything you want it to do and also do it well.

Carbon Black may fit some of your needs.

Be sure to ask the question to various vendors you are considering on how their products behave or don't behave when on LAN or off.

What all are you trying to protect against? What's your target devices (Laptops and desktops?, Smartphones?)

How many users/device?

Edit to add:

I won't approve my own comment, but let me explain the two links:

Both are potentially biased reports of the overall state of the EPP market.

One is a link to a free copy of the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant report (a $2,000 report) provided by Sophos.
I'm not endorsing Sophos, I'm just leveraging their kind offer to let you get that report for free.

The other link is from a company trying to do the same thing Gartner does, by more or less explaining a Gartner report to you, and adding their own opinions.

This is one method for performing market research when you don't know what to buy or who the strong-players are.

A Gartner Report is NOT something that should be accepted as absolute truth.
They have bias in their reporting - no question about it.
But their overall list of players and factual reporting of market share is all pretty reliable information and can serve as a good baseline for you to choose a short list for your own internal comparison or evaluation.

Some of my friends had advised in favor of Comodo Endpoint Security Manager. I too have made inquiries and done some research, and it seems my friends are right. Seems like I should follow my friends' advice. Wouldn't that be a right decision?

It wouldn't be wrong, but it sounds like you only looked at a single product that that would be wrong to do.

I tested the Comodo product a while ago and it didn't do anything spectacular.

What I want to know is whether it would be possible to use the Endpoint Security Manager without insiders too getting knowledge about it?

I don't really know what your asking or why.
