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."The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"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."
"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."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"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 feature of Panda Security Adaptive Defense is we don't have to have dedicated infrastructure on-premise because it is cloud-based."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"The product has valuable features for insights."
"Scalability."
"It's good at detecting signature-based stuff and stopping that."
"It is very easy to use and keeps us secure."
"SEP, the entire suite of components, provides good endpoint protection."
"It's a good proxy to control the user's access to the website."
"The product blocks computer viruses."
"It's a robust product."
"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"
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"They could have more reports."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"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."
"Difficult to set up on older systems."
"About four years back, Symantec's signature was very heavy and their signature patch was around 200MB or 300MB files."
"The solution has become quite complicated since Broadcom acquired Symantec, and we no longer sell it or try not to sell it."
"I know they were just bought out by Broadcom and there have been some difficulties with Broadcom as far as getting license renewals, etc. Mostly, due to the fact that it's confusing, even for the vendor, people are turned off by it. The vendors are telling us that it can take weeks for them to get a renewal quote, nevermind the actual renewal."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"The spam filter is something that you can't control, and you can't set the filter to intercept different types of emails."
"Need to improved orchestration for broken clients fixes."
"They should work on making the virus definition file lighter."
