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.

The solution provides automated responses and helps protect our systems
We use the solution to protect our systems. We also use it for real-time detection The tool provides automated responses. It has a lot of features. The interface is not the best. I do not like it. The reports must also be improved. I am currently using the solution. I have contacted the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"The patch management module is very important."
"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
 

Cons

"The gap between the two final conclusions is a problem, whether or not a file is known to be malware or is known to be safe."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"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."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The interface is not the best."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"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."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The price is comparable."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution is a bit more expensive than other options."
"There is a license required to use the solution and we pay annually. The price could be reduced because it is a bit expensive."
"The price is very good."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The price of WatchGuard is very good."
