"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"The protection from malware is the most important feature. It has some endpoint information about the vehicle of the virus, malware, etc. It is also stable and easy to install, and they also provide good technical support."
"The interface is great."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."

"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."

"The monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
"The management of the server is a bit complex."
"This solution needs better compatibility with services and applications."
"The solution could improve by adding encryption. If it had encryption along with antivirus it would be better."
"There could be definition updates installed and running for the product, similar to new EDR solutions that receive updates from the internet."

"The one thing I don't like about Symantec Endpoint Security is the amount of resources it uses."
"Multi-domain policy options for exceptions and global blocks."
