WatchGuard EPDR Reviews

We are using endpoint solutions such as Panda Adaptive Defense 360, but currently we are using Panda. We are using it to protect the computer. I am a customer for Panda, just a user, not a reseller.

What is really great about Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its console in the cloud, and it can keep the inventory of software in the PC. We collect the inventory, software inventory, and collect what we install in the computer. It can track what software is in the computer.

I use this function the same as with other antivirus. This function helps to detect what software is installed in the computer.

Monitoring in Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is good; if anything suspicious occurs, they will send an email to the administrator.

Automation is present in Panda Adaptive Defense 360.

My use cases primarily focus on security. I utilize endpoint protection when I am traveling, as I seek security. I find that WatchGuard is one of the best in these terms.

First of all, the product itself is very hardy. I can put tons of load on it. Whether it is a small box or a high-end box, the small box will not give up in any case. It will function until its RAM or CPU are fully utilized. In terms of hardware, I would say WatchGuard is one of the best compared to Sophos and FortiGate, among all the firewalls. 

I have not used much of Palo Alto and Check Point, so I can't say much about them. However, leaving out Palo Alto and Check Point, compared to all other devices, WatchGuard is the leader from my perspective. Ransomware is one of its handled threats. 

Application-based configurations work excellently. The cloud of WatchGuard lets me see all my devices, updating me to minute levels with detailed information, such as patch status and vulnerabilities. This functionality is among my favorites in endpoint protection and Doctor.

WatchGuard EPDR is for endpoint computers and devices, and a Firebox is a firewall.

What I appreciate the most about WatchGuard EPDR is that with the managed detection and response system, when there is an alert about the product running, the turnaround time for enabling it is less than two hours.

Real-time insights powered by advanced machine learning are helpful to me.

Being a managed detection and response system, the distinctive telemetry feature works effectively. The threat assessment operates 24/7, with people working in the background on any alerts from our endpoints. They might be using AI because their turnaround time is impressive. For example, we recently updated a piece of CAD software on one of our CAD machines. During the process of running it after the update, the computer, which was a couple of versions behind the hotfix update, sparked concerns for the WatchGuard endpoint which blocked programs. Over the space of 25 minutes, as I sat there, I watched those blocked components become allowable by a pop-up window in the bottom right of the computer I was working on. All I had to do was open it and close it until I saw that it was functioning correctly and I was getting no more alerts. That process took less than 25 minutes.

I work with Panda from Panda Endpoint Security by WatchGuard. I use Panda Adaptive Defense 360.

The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives. I have never had an incident since using the product. 

Additionally, I can book events, use data control and full encryption, and access advanced reporting tools. It effectively monitors everything, reducing the need for extensive security staff. It prevents issues with Trojans and encryption Trojans, providing efficiency in network oversight.

We centrally control all our end-user devices, maintaining patches.

The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective.

My organization's IT team deploys the product for our clients' servers. Our company's different customers use the whole tool, which is Panda Adaptive Defense 360 since we sell it as a full tool that offers EDR services.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily.

The solution uses AI to monitor behavioral analysis on the endpoints. It gives a baseline of normal behavior and alerts me about strange things happening on the endpoint. It also works with my other subscription services, like DNSWatch and IPS.

The AI monitors what is normal behavior for a person while they're using an endpoint. I get an alert if an application does something other than what is considered ordinary. For instance, if someone hasn’t been using their computer for the last two months and hasn't uploaded anything to OneDrive and suddenly uploads 5 GB of data to OneDrive, I get an alert. The reporting feature is valuable. The integration with the firewall is useful.

WatchGuard EPDR is useful in large organizations with over 200 endpoints because the starting prices of the other tools in the market are higher for solutions like Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Services. WatchGuard EPDR offers a friendly user interface, which is very good for doing a lot of analysis and as a part of threat detection and response.

The zero-trust application service that WatchGuard EPDR runs is good. If there aren't any matches for a signature or a file, the solution will initially run them on a sandbox and determine if it is secure to run it in the environment. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it is done with AI, while only one percent of the time, it takes less than twenty-four hours for human intervention. You get a good experience with the tool, but sometimes it can be a bit stressful because the tool doesn't have the signatures to run it, making the product take twenty minutes instead of five minutes, but it is good.
