Undoubtedly, it is one of the best antivirus I have tested, it has been very efficient for me as well as for clients and colleagues who always recommend this software, its quality, trust and efficiency provides tranquility not only to the company for which I work , but personally I consider that it has the necessary parameters that guarantee its function.

Pros

What I like the most, besides its high protection in reference to viruses and possible malicious files that could put at risk the useful life of the equipment, is very fast and effective when it comes to providing protection, it is also easy to use and Software costs are relatively profitable according to the team's functionalities.

Cons

What I do not like is that it lacks more functionalities a little more graphic and that has a follow up from notifications, it would also be interesting to include a voice alert system in case there is a risk to the security of the data, or Some software is causing damage, the rest is of very good quality and efficient.

WatchGuard Endpoint Security—Impeccable in my years of experience

As a small shop MSP/MSSP, without the highly automated EPDR collection of modules and features in WatchGuard Endpoint Security, it would be impossible for me to maintain such a high level of safety, security, and system reliability for my clients—There simply would not be nearly enough hours in a day!

Pros

I am a small shop MSP/MSSP and there is no way that I could safely and securely handle my own business and all of my clients without the Cloud-based automated EPDR and zero-trust capabilities built into such a user-friendly interface. This is why I have used WatchGuard Endpoint Security (formerly Panda Adaptive Defense 360) since 2015.

Cons

For the most part, WatchGuard Endpoint Security's user interface is very similar to the Panda Adaptive Defense 360 product that I have used daily since 2015 but there have been changes (some say improvements) that have been a little challenging to get used to.

Reasons for Switching to WatchGuard Endpoint Security

I review competitors annually to see if WatchGuard Endpoint Security and WatchGuard Systems Management are the best, safest, most secure, and least time-demanding solutions for my clients and me, and those four criteria seem to repeatedly go to WatchGuard ever since they acquired Panda Security's suite of automated EPDR and zero-trust solutions and improved upon them.

Panda solved one of the biggest problems we had with other systems and that is cloud management. No physical server is necessary, meaning it works for organizations of all sizes. It also ensured we reduced the number of applications we rely on for security and management. The support received from the vendor is also extraordinary, with assistance offered in installation, setup, and use. the setup and removal process was also simple, having another panda product on one machine, Panda AD even asked for permission to replace it without having me uninstall it.

Pros

Panda AD 360 comes in two packages, systems management and endpoint protection. The latter provides excellent protection features and was able to detect threats within minutes of completing setup. It also has a feature where any unfamiliar activity is flagged for review by the administrator and also if you choose, by the Panda threat analysis team. Systems management's best feature is tracking and allowing the automatic update of software on user devices .

Cons

the backend management and administrator side needs someone who knows what they are doing and also takes a bit of time

Panda has been consistenly ranking among the top performing antivirus solutoin for our needs. Moreover, they have proven very effective in implementing the custom changes we requested without hesitation

Pros

Their support and development team have been super helpful and have been able to implement quickly the changes we requested.

Cons

Some features need to be polished. There are some features that make no sense (I.e. showing a piece information with dashes in between, but can only be found in the searchbox without the dashes).

Great basic protection for my system

Reviewed on 29/12/2018

Pros

Panda has a very appealing user interface with options and configurations that are intuitive and easy to setup. It runs fast and protects my computer well against a wide variety of malware. I have not had an infection since I've used this software.

Cons

Since it's not as popular as some other products, Panda probably doesn't get the latest malware definitions right away as others do. The program seems to need to be updated all the time, but at least that's a low effort job that doesn't prevent me from doing other things while that is going on.

This makes it hitting home with GDPR consistence, as they can shield endpoints from malware, keep them refreshed with the most recent fixes and stop information leaking, all in a single tool.
Endpoint features highlights are broad, including firewall, document, web and email antivirus, website filtering and device control.

Pros

Installation and configuration are extremely easy.
Solution management concentrated in a single cloud based interface
Excellent data control services

Cons

Rarely, some devices loose connection with update servers and do not sync properly

I love this product and I would recommend it for any business that would like to know more about what is going on in their IT environment, with their reporting and also to be able to control all the devices on the network.

Pros

I am writing about Panda Fusion which combines both Panda Adaptive Defense and System management. As a system management program it is very easy to use. The comp store makes it easy to look for the apps that are most popular to create deployment packages of since its all part of a community that has tested and works well with the Panda Agent. It didn't take long for me to understand how it work. I barely contacted support for help since most of the answers I just figured out on my own, or was easy to find online.

Cons

I would like to see more abilities to control local security policy on devices like screen time outs, password policies, user password reset.

This is an easy piece of software to use. I have not had any difficulties with intrusion or viruses since we've been utilizing the software.

Pros

Panda is very easy to get up and running and then predominately runs itself. You can easily check the status of any system through the admin portal in case a user manages to remove the platform.

Cons

Software has to be installed on each endpoint manually and it is particularly difficult to manage licenses when old endpoints have been decommissioned.

If the machine is re-imaged, even if the ID is the same , it's very difficult to get the software to recognise this, this can result in duplicate licences.
