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.

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.

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.

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.

It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection.

The product is available at a very high price, making it an area where improvements are required.

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.

The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution.

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.

Only the DNS filtering part could be improved, and nothing else apart from this needs correction.
