They create a case, tell me to refer to articles, and if not resolved, they take a remote session to solve the issue.

The technical support from WatchGuard would rate at about an eight on a scale of 1 to 10, where one is the worst technical support and 10 is the best technical support.

Room For Improvement

Trellix EDR requires improvements in resource efficiency, user interface, integration, threat detection, and centralized management to enhance user experience.
WatchGuard EPDR needs improved integration, data protection, intuitive administration, DNS security, stability, deployment, reporting, and lower processor load.
I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment.
Committee of IT Cybersececurity at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees
An area for improvement would be the software deployment to seamlessly deploy software packages across multiple machines simultaneously.
Citrix Solutions Architect at Digital Generation
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement.

Other firewalls allow adding categories and in-app controls which WatchGuard currently lacks.
Solution Architect at Simvicitsolutions
 

Setup Cost

Trellix EDR is reasonably priced with additional costs, requires a three-year contract, and is moderately competitive.
WatchGuard EPDR offers flexible subscription pricing that's seen as reasonable, with advanced features justifying higher costs.
It is worth the money and provides good return on investment.
Regarding pricing, I am not sure because I did not compare it with other antivirus; maybe it is pricey.
Section Head, Information Technology at a transportation company with 201-500 employees
The pricing is slightly high, but the product quality justifies it.

Valuable Features

Trellix EDR offers scalable, user-friendly cybersecurity with automation, real-time monitoring, ransomware detection, and comprehensive threat management.
WatchGuard EPDR simplifies threat detection and enhances IT productivity with advanced search, real-time insights, and robust endpoint protection.
I have spent efforts on training our managers and others - what can software do if the knowledge base is low?
Committee of IT Cybersececurity at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees
The cloud of WatchGuard lets me see all my devices, updating me to minute levels with detailed information, such as patch status and vulnerabilities.
Solution Architect at Simvicitsolutions
The software deployment is also a key aspect of the solution.
Citrix Solutions Architect at Digital Generation
What is really great about Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is its console in the cloud, and it can keep the inventory of software in the PC.

Featured Reviews

Committee of IT Cybersececurity at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees
Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.

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.
