We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Panda Adaptive Defense 360 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."he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It's pretty easy to scale."
"We had certain compliance and usage issues. For example, our company wanted to go with CIS, but we didn't have a proper way of measuring whether the endpoints have the right standards in place or whether they were compliant with CIS. Microsoft Defender was like a one-stop for most things because it gave us the vulnerability and patching scores so that our vulnerability management teams can focus on covering up the vulnerabilities and the patching team can check the vulnerable versions and deploy the right versions."
"Its simplicity is the most valuable. It also has very good integration. We like it."
"There are a couple of features, such as isolating the devices or connecting the device and connecting live response."
"The threat hunting service is very useful for a security professional."
"Auto-remediation: When the product sees malware, it resolves the issue immediately. This protects the machine."
"We have just started to implement it. It is useful for protection from malware and ransomware."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is that it is embedded into the Windows system. Additionally, the performance is good and simple to maintain."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
"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 interface is great."
"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."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"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 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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"It's not quite a mature solution just yet. It needs more time to grow and develop."
"I'm not too sure of its current capabilities, but I'm pretty sure they are doing a good job on Windows and Mac. However, I'm not sure whether they covered Linux. If I remember correctly, Microsoft Defender didn't have anything proper on Linux back then, but if they have improved it from that aspect, it would already be ticking all the boxes."
"The reporting in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint should improve. The solution has limited features."
"Alerts need to be sent immediately because as it is now, you see some of them without delay and others arrive perhaps 30 minutes later, and it leaves important gaps in terms of information gathering."
"Updates are not coming out of preview quickly enough and it is holding back on the development of the product."
"We'd like the stability to be better."
"There's scanning going on that occasionally topples the memory, causing everything to freeze. This should be fixed."
"It should support non-Windows products better. Microsoft is now one of the leading vendors in the security area. So, they should be product-independent."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
