Adaptive Defense 360 is a very complete product that addresses all our needs. It offers the best security level available at the moment and is very easy to manage. If you require a more complex setup, Adaptive Defense 360 is up for the job as well. Also reporting possibilities and remote management via the cloud portal is a BIG added value. Combined with a very easy to talk to distributor channel, WatchGuard is the best choice you can make!
- Security/Protection level
- Easy to manage (install, config, etc.)
- Lots and lots of possibilities to exactly match your needs
Cons
- Individual recovery of unused licenses would be nice

- Less time needed to follow up on endpoint security
- No more security breaches since Adaptive Defense 360 has been implemented ([reducing management] time and [improving] reputation)
No we didn't, we are a partner :-)
Only having to access one portal to manage everything is always a big added value.
With Watchguard EDPR you can do this: one portal to manage all settings, devices, reports, ...
This saves you a lot of time, not having to wonder which website to open, which account/password to use ...
As everything is on the same portal, the next thing to review, check, change, whatever is very near

That is easy: since we implemented WG EDPR there has been zero security breaches. And since all our Security Solutions are coming from the same provider: no more conflicts between products from different vendors.
We used basic Panda Endpoint Protection before, going to Adaptive Defense 360 was a logic[al] step to make. You keep using a familiar product, but with a whole new set of added features and possibilities + increased protection level.
Writing this review takes more time than managing Adaptive Defense 360. Does that say enough?

We use it for general work, we also use it in our virtual machines for testing in low-reliability environments. We do several tests to improve our skills in the tool and provide greater support to our customers. With the zero-trust policy, we are able to use the computing resources with more peace of mind and the advanced reporting functions give us very high visibility of what is happening in our network.
- Offers advanced protection with virtually no machine resource consumption.
- The management console is very simple to use and customize.
- The speed of application of the policies is surprising.
Cons
- When an app is blocked, the administrator will receive an email with the information and a link to quickly unlock it.
- Integration with Active Directory.
- More options on the encryption part, like encrypting only a specific folder.

- Reduction with management cost.
- Reduction with solution support cost.
- Less downtime due to malware attacks.

Panda AD360 was far simpler to configure and deploy, competitors often need support on endpoints due to connection failures. Cloud management was also a differentiator due to its ease. The performance issue was also a strong point against competitors, we often have to turn off functions in competitors to get OK performance for users.
With the integration with the watchguard cloud and the watchguard firewall as well, the solution offers an end-to-end integration, making the correlation of events much easier, greatly reducing false positives and the attack surface, making the team more assertive in the alerts that really are a problem.

We are using it in the whole organization. We used both the Adaptive Defense 360 product and the systems manager, and having the single pane of glass management is amazing. It's easy to manage and indicate to SMB servers.

Helps solving many filtering problems
Improves filtering attach emails
The system can throw some false alarms which is annoying and a bit [in]efficient. It usually takes folders or files in good condition and notifies them as an error, which is not true since we verify this truthfulness manually. Such notifications are usually a problem and delay the agility of our work.
