Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 9, 2024

Panda Adaptive Defense 360 and Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud compete in the cybersecurity solutions category. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive feature set and superior customer service responsiveness.

Features: Panda Adaptive Defense 360 offers highly effective threat detection and management features, seamless endpoint protection, and automated threat response. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud provides mobile device management, cloud management capabilities, and a centralized security dashboard. The primary difference lies in Kaspersky's additional mobile support.

Room for Improvement: Panda Adaptive Defense 360 could enhance its reporting capabilities, speed up customer support response times, and simplify its initial setup process. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud can improve integration with third-party applications, enhance initial setup simplicity, and offer more flexible pricing options.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Panda Adaptive Defense 360 features a straightforward deployment process but needs improvement in customer service response time. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is relatively easy to deploy and offers robust customer service with faster responsiveness. The main difference lies in the effectiveness of customer service, where Kaspersky has the edge.

Pricing and ROI: Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is cost-effective with a good ROI, though some users feel initial setup costs can be high.

Security features excel while management tools face challenges

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has proven to be a robust and comprehensive solution for endpoint protection. So far, no major negative features have been observed. However, email security integration with Microsoft 365 has room for improvement. In a recent real-world incident, a company received 10 phishing emails, of which only three were blocked by the system. Enhancing detection accuracy to block 7 or more would significantly improve trust and effectiveness. With the on-premises version, there's a known issue where assigning a device to a new group results in it being auto-assigned back to the previous group. Fixing this bug would greatly streamline device management. Additionally, in the cloud version, once a device is assigned to a user, it cannot be reassigned without deleting the user or the device entirely. It would be far more user-friendly if the platform allowed simple reassignment or de-assignment, returning the device to an "unassigned" state. As for automated behavioral analysis, while current functionality is based on machine learning, upgrading to true AI-powered detection could bring substantial improvements. Ideally, the system should proactively flag potential threats, and offer administrators the option to either allow or block applications based on intelligent risk analysis

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

"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."

"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."

"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."

"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."

"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."

"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."

"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud pros

"The interface is great."

"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."

"I've found it's got excellent web protection."

"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."

"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 patch management module is very important."

"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."

"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 pros

Cons

"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."

"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."

"Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement."

"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."

"While the product provides a good level of protection, we need better support, especially in terms of being kept informed about new threats and specific configurations needed."

"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."

"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."

"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud 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."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."

"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."

"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."

"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."

"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."

"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."

"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 cons

"The product’s price is flexible."

"The pricing is favorable, and there are no additional expenses associated with using the product."

"The platform is expensive."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."
