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."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."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"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 patch management module is very important."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"The interface is great."
"Stability-wise, it is very good and we have had no trouble."
"It's a robust product."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Security are endpoint protection, antivirus, firewall, and policy creation."
"Some of the features that were important were a built-in firewall and device control."
"The anti-virus and firewall policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"I like the firewall and the intrusion prevention features, and just the basic anti-malware and anti-virus seems to be pretty effective as well."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"They could have more reports."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
"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."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
"We communicate with our local partners and they give us the license key. Then, we have to go to the portal and apply it, but sometimes it doesn't work. We then have to create a new administrative account and migrate all our endpoints. That is the only major issue we have been battling with."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
