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

"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"The patch management module is very important."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"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 solution is scalable."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
 

Cons

"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"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 stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"The only area for improvement is regarding operational technology devices, specifically the engineering automation systems."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"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 licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Our costs were somewhere around $600K in Trinidad dollars, which might be about $100K US. We have the ETP plus the EDR. Our recent renewal was 1800 licenses as opposed to the full amount. Our transaction cost was about $600K Trinidad dollars, which is somewhere around $90-100K US."
