User-friendly solution with good blocking
I mainly use Security Premium as an antivirus.  Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface. Security Premium's cost could be lower. I've been using Security Premium for a year. Security Premium is stable - I haven't faced any issues or bugs while using…

Balanced endpoint protection has improved forensic visibility and speeds threat investigation
I think there's always something that needs to be improved about WatchGuard EPDR, but I don't have something specific to say that you should do this or that. They are listening to the users, so they are fixing things as they've been found. I don't have any example to give. The pricing is always a thing where you need to be in the line that the balance to get it right is a challenging thing with WatchGuard EPDR. If you have good features, then you can have a little bigger price, but if you just get the balance right, that's important. I haven't used automated incident response in WatchGuard EPDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"The dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good, and the support we receive from Norton is excellent."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install."
"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."
"Great technical support staff."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"Technical support has always been top-notch when you can get through."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"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."
"I think there's quite a good balance in everything with WatchGuard EPDR, with tools to do things and watch what's happening, and everything is in the same tools and quite well designed or thought about how to do things, which is the reason I've been enjoying them."
"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."
 

Cons

"They say Norton Security Premium is an all-in-one solution, but we don't know exactly what's in it, e.g. they didn't make an effort to explain the difference between a virus scan and a ransomware scan."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium. I really dislike it."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the program is too complex, and simplifying it might be an improvement."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"As far as improvement to the product, perhaps the price could be better."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The categories in the web filtering should be more comprehensive. When a URL is not categorized, I face issues."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"I think there was a little complexity in deployment when I actually deployed WatchGuard EPDR."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Panda is the most painful endpoint solution I've ever had to work with except SentinelOne."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
