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 a good firewall that blocks unwanted ports
In our company's infrastructure, we have not faced any challenges with the product. Considering the lack of issues or challenges faced with the use of the product in our company's environment, I feel that it is a good solution. Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement. If Trend Micro Deep Security wants to implement some new features in it, then I would say that it should focus from a networking point of view and see how to control network traffic specifically coming from external to internal traffic on the servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"Great technical support staff."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"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."
"My customers are satisfied with Trend Micro Deep Security since they feel safe and secure."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"In terms of valuable features, I would say its intrusion prevention. Each and every IP connecting to the server gets scanned so we know everyone who is accessing our server and we can block whichever IP's do not belong to us at the firewall."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"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."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"The cost is very high."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"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."
"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 price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"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."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"The solution is considerably cheaper than other similar solutions."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
"The tool's pricing is high."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"It is a very expensive solution. It would be nice if they lower its price. Its license is based on the machines."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
