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.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."
"The most valuable feature is the web filter application control."
"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 dashboard management feature is valuable."
"Great technical support staff."
"I would give the overall solution a rating of ten out of ten."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Low performance requirements."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"The solution should have additional endpoint protection."
"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."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
