Symantec XDR vs. Watchguard Endpoint Security

It really helps with building upon end point security. Symantec XDR builds on endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms by adding telemetry streams from multiple control points into a unified incident detection and response platform.

I have experience with Watchguard Endpoint Security (EPDR) with small companies of five or more endpoints to large companies with hundreds of endpoints and find it well-suited for both types and everything in between. However, it is particularly good for companies with lean IT departments due to the awesomely automated and intelligent tools it provides for quick investigation and response. Also, its automated white list approval process for unknown executables is extremely fast thereby reducing and sometimes even eliminating delays that could impair employee performance.

• Centralized management makes monitoring simple.
• Deployment is quick, easy, and automatable.
• Zero Trust means exactly that - if a process is not KNOWN to be safe, it is blocked until evaluated.
• IT managers can block or grant authority to override the automatic protection in case of the immediate need to allow a process known to be safe.

• Better update support

• As with any application of this nature, it can block processes or other suspected security risks that are actually safe.
• While easy to use, it sometimes provides less learning opportunities for less experienced staff who are not as well-versed in these applications.

The ease of use, pricing, support, reliability, and quality of the product. Panda / WatchGuard products are highly rated, priced right and easy to maintain. All of this make it very easy to renew and purchase new licenses for us and our clients.

Easy and intuitive MSP management portal to manage all of your clients from a single pane of glass. Policies can be pushed down globally or individually based on needs. The client portal allows access to their tenant information and installs only which is nice if you are working with clients who might have an internal person or an IT team that also wants access to things to manage themself.

The software is 100% managed on a cloud platform that can be managed via an account even if they are not present within the company network where the software is installed, I even always opened the control panel on the browser of my smartphone to monitor the situation.I have never experienced any abnormal software crashes

The only annoyance I complain, if we want to be picky, is the fact of the constant disconnections from the control panel.Every about 4 hours the account logs out even if I set the "remember this device" flag; having said that I have not noticed neither slowdowns nor conflicts with other software

I gave it a 10 because I compare it to air conditioning. I need it to work every day, 24/7. I need it to be reliable and not something that requires a ton of interaction from staff to make sure it works every day. In addition, I should be able to run other things at my house when the AC is on. Panda fits that description.

Trainer was excellent, knew this product in-depth.

The software goes manually on a PC only on the company network and then proceeds through that PC to install the software on all the other clients through the control panel where all the clients / servers on the network are detected with extreme speed and ease of execution, even for uninstallation and remote control over scans

It has better security solutions, and the UI is much more intuitive compared to the Trend Micro Managed XDR

Very similar. I feel like Watchguard need to get a better foothold with people trusting the name in the endpoint space. It has pretty much everything S 1 does but it also provides so much more. Simple things like patch management and encryption are fantastic adding that deliver true security value

With the implementation of watchguard (at the beginning Panda Endpoint, but it is the same) I was able to insert in the control panel all the unauthorized software previously installed by colleagues without any authorization from the various department heads.Now any licensed software goes into lockdown and can be unlocked from the control panel

• Helps with security certification
• Costly

• [...] The ability to make website URL and category viewing restrictions resulted in higher productive personnel and reduced the risks of infection.
• For the IT department, the centralised management console with all the information and tasks prepared to deploy to the endpoints helps us work more efficiently and faster.
• The ROI has been really good along [the] years, with a safer environment our employees work better and without stress, that translates in productivity.
