Offers advanced filtering features and benefits from improved licensing and performance
There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint. Their licenses are user-based. Most of our customers use per device licenses, and they need per device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts. This creates a problem. There was one customer who complained about the slowness of PCs using Intercept X Endpoint. They use minor performance PCs, which causes their PCs to become slow.

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

"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
"One reason why I have stuck with Sophos is because it grabs it and deals with it, and if it's known malware, it can quarantine it or delete it."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"The solution has very good usability."
"Very stable solution."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"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."
"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."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
"The patch management module is very important."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
 

Cons

"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"Should include additional integration."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"The integration has room for improvement, especially with Mac OS."
"The implementation was difficult."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"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."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"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."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"We renew the license for one year at $10,000."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is competitive."
"It was fairly and reasonably priced."
"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"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."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
