Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup was easy."
"The performance is great."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"The patch management module is very important."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"They could have more reports."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"The implementation was difficult."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."

"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
