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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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 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 have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"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."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There is no other endpoint solution that will help you in preventing lateral-movement attacks on Active Directory. And Active Directory is one of the more critical assets within an organization."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"It is a scalable product and is average stability-wise."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Symantec End-User Endpoint Security is a stable solution."
"The fact that it has centralized management is the most valuable feature."
"One of the features is the ability to frequently get virus signature updates."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The support needs improvement."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"We do get the odd false positive when we're trying to install the software."
"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."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"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."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Managements' number one item on the "Wish List" would have to do with the real-time scan of external media inserted into any client."
"I would like to see a hybrid version of this solution that covers both in-house and cloud-based servers."
"The agent shouldn't use up so many resources at the endpoint when scanning and protecting."
"There was an administrative feature, which was available in the previous version, which has been removed. We would like that feature to be added again."
"This latest version has proven unreliable for management and installation."
"Automation of tasks should be improved on SEPM. It is currently manual, and we should be able to automate installation and deployment from the client side."
"The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful."
"The technical support could improve because when you reach level one support there is a lot of delays."
