Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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

"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The most valuable features of Panda Security Adaptive Defense are the useful hardware information it provides, light on resources, controllable from the console, remote scan functionality, and the blocking of a lot of URL malware."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"Great technical support staff."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
 

Cons

"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"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 stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"The implementation was difficult."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"I would like to see better data protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
