Walter Fang - PeerSpot reviewer
A very stable tool that offers security and protection, along with automatic updates
The product's initial setup was very straightforward. When it comes to the time taken for the deployment part of 360 Safeguard, once in the back-end, the tool normally shows a message and shows the upgrade or whatever is running the back-end that I might not have noticed. The solution is deployed on the cloud. I could not even notice the deployment process because I think it just somehow showed up in my system one day, and it worked with my Windows system very smoothly and seamlessly. When I install Windows Office and choose Office 365, I see 360 Safeguard installed.

Reasonably priced and simple to use
During the product's installation phase, you just put the tool in the right place, and it works. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. The solution can be deployed in a couple of minutes. The installation process is so basic that I don't even remember what you need to do. You just put the tick marks in the tool and ask the tool to use them. In the rules, where you see the files go through is where you can think over what to do with the files. With the tool, you just need to put it on, and then the default rules make sure that there is some indication that something is wrong.

"What I found most valuable in 360 Safeguard is its VPN feature. I support remote sites, so I use a VPN."

"The pricing of the solution is okay. It's not the most expensive option."
"It does its job very well, and it is quite easy to put to use."

Cons

"In 360 Safeguard, there is something called the menu or advanced menu support, a process that I find to be a little bit awkward."

"There were a little bit of problems with the tool's updates, making it an area where improvements are needed."
"The solution isn't what I would consider feature-rich."

"WatchGuard technical support requires a license."
"Since WatchGuard acquired Panda, there may be synergies in consolidating both solutions under a single name to reduce customer confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"360 Safeguard is low-priced. It only costs $300."
