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

"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
 

Cons

"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"The implementation was difficult."
"I would rate Panda Adaptive Defense 360 overall eight points because I still try to find another solution that is easier for me, which can provide what I currently have in Panda Adaptive Defense 360."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"The interface is not the best."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
