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 .

Owner/MSP/MSSP Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WatchGuard Endpoint Security—Impeccable in my years of experience" April 13, 2023 5.0 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.
