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.

Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"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."
"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 protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
"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."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"Technical support is good."
"We use the solution to detect malicious threats, secure the endpoints, and disable the UFT."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we didn't have any problem with it."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
 

Cons

"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"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."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"Trend Micro Deep Security should provide a bundle solution for the customer similar to what Microsoft provides."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"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."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"There is a subscription cost to use this product."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"We have saved a 50% ROI for the on-premise product. It gave us significant improvement overall in productivity, costs, and efficiency."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
