Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Using cloud-based console for software inventory management and email alerts
I have no idea if I use some automation functions. I can't find any disadvantages; maybe that is because many companies haven't used it. I would prefer to see some features such as AI in antivirus solutions. I appreciate reporting, but it could be better with monthly reporting or auto-generated monthly reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"WatchGuard is commendable for its work on threats."
"It is easy to manage."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"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."
 

Cons

"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Only the DNS filtering part could be improved, and nothing else apart from this needs correction."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"They could have more reports."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a single license platform."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The product is available at a high price."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
"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 price is excellent."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
