We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Panda Adaptive Defense 360 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is stable and scalable."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Endpoint's most valuable feature is deep analysis."
"A few years ago, when I was using a different product, I was affected by a virus that destroyed everything. Since using Microsoft Defender, I have not had this kind of problem."
"The ransomware and malware protection is the most valuable feature."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is extremely stable."
"Its real-time security is the most valuable."
"It's a Microsoft product; it's easier to deploy this product than other options."
"The most valuable features are that it is flexible, and it is integrated with Microsoft products."
"It is stable and easy to use. Everything is okay, and there are no performance issues."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The support needs improvement."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Localization is always a challenge, especially with new products you typically want. Solutions are designed to be deployed where the most licenses are being consumed, such as in the United States. They focus on US products, devices, and networks. Specialized deployments for other countries would allow for a smoother experience in transition."
"The detection of viruses could be a little bit better."
"Monitoring can always be better, onboarding can be a little bit faster, log collection could be easier, they could streamline the dashboard. They could maybe split it up into different workspaces and have the ability to segment groups a little bit more."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is effective for validating work, but not ideal for investigations."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is secure but when it comes to security all solutions could improve security."
"It would be helpful if they included XDR features, on top of the EDR functionality."
"It is inexpensive but could be cheaper like anything else."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's licensing is confusing. It has conflicting information on the website. We also faced integration issues with other systems. It makes laptops slower than traditional antivirus systems."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"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."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
