The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."
"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"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."
 

Cons

"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"An area for improvement would be the software deployment to seamlessly deploy software packages across multiple machines simultaneously, and to enhance the remote monitoring capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"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 solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The product is available at a high price."
"The price is excellent."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
