We performed a comparison between ESET Endpoint Protection Platform 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."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"
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The pricing, if compared to other products, is cheap."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"It's a very user-friendly product."
"It's light. I almost don't know that I am using it."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the antispam module, which comes in the bundle."
"It hasn't crashed a single time, so it is stable in that sense."
"Great technical support staff."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The patch management module is very important."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The product could have better integration with third-party products that would help extend functionality."
"It seems to have some issues with updates. When you do updates, it sometimes requests for a reboot, and even when you do the reboot, it still says that you need to reboot. Currently, on my computer, it says that a new ESET Endpoint Antivirus has been installed, and I need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect, but I've already done that, and the same message is still there, which is a little annoying. It should have a feature similar to the Intercept X feature in Sophos."
"The solution could have a more user-friendly interface."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"The initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security can be complicated when you get involved with encryption."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense can improve by including the intrusion and prevention system not only on their most expensive platform. Additionally, it blocks software that is legitimate from users. They complain and then we have to manually unblock the software, by hash, or we receive a message. Some of the prevention features are not available and this might cause us to need a separate firewall or something to protect the company."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"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 implementation was difficult."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
