We performed a comparison between Panda Adaptive Defense 360 and Symantec Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"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 product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."
"The patch management module is very important."
"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."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"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."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The product has been quite stable."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"The most useful features are the antivirus, anti-spyware, and the firewall feature. It also provides application control and Host Integrity, which is a very unique feature."
"We never expect downtime. There is also great ease of use for my admins."
"It seems to be user-friendly. Our users seem to like it for the most part."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"I like the intrusion prevention and Sonar features."
"There are no issues with scalability."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Intelligence aspects need 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."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"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."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"Any external device which is inserted into a computer should be subject to an auto-scan policy, to automatically scan it before accepting the device... They need to make it more user-friendly, so that when anyone puts in a USB stick it will be scanned, popping up any problems before it is used."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"We were having a problem in Version 14, where the client machines used to go into the health state and once it restarted, and never came back again."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"They are lacking the visibility that you get in a heuristical, next-generation AI product."
"Installation of the tool on a workstation requires some technical knowledge, which could be more straightforward."
"There are limitations because everyone these days has hybrid working; however, the endpoint does not work for us unless we are connected to a VPN, which is a major limitation."
