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.

The solution provides endpoint detection and response with a nice-looking dashboard
The solution is easily scalable because it's in the cloud and we can push the agents using our Cafea solution. We can even deploy the applications to our remote branches easily. We currently have four people using the solution and if the number of computers increases we can scale up by increasing the number of licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"It is easy to manage."
"The detection capabilities for malicious activities are effective."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The most valuable feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"Great technical support staff."
"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."
"The Sophos people here in South Africa are very helpful."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"Great cloud management."
"What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer. For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool."
"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"Provides good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better data protection."
"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."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"The implementation was difficult."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"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."
"The automation side of the setup is a pain. I have to run the installers manually."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The user interface is not responsive."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"The solution lacks technical support."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"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."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"Sophos EPP Suite is cost-effective. We bought it because it costs less than other solutions we like—for example, Trend Micro and Panda Antivirus."
"The pricing for this solution is ok."
"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."
"The license cost for Sophos EPP Suite depends on the features you want to use. For example, if you want to use advanced features, such as web application firewalling, the cost may be higher. In general, I believe the licensing cost is reasonable."
"Price-wise, it is cheap. We need to pay 1,500 to 2,000 INR per user...On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
