Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with Adaptive Defense 360 / WatchGuard EPDR
We utilize Adaptive Defense 360 / WatchGuard EPDR as a standard for all of our Managed Services Clients. We found it to perform very well as an EDR and is very easy to maintain as a Managed Services Provider. We have a central portal where we can maintain all of our clients and the clients also have their own access to only their settings as well. In the past year of usage Adaptive Defense 360 has been one of 3 products to catch and stop many malicious zero days in the wild before they became known and caught by other solutions. In reality, nothing works 100% and anyone serious about security knows a layered approach is needed, but for us, Adaptive Defense 360 is a big piece of that layered approach
- Stops many Zero Day Exploits
- Easy to Manage and Intuitive
- Low Overhead for Agent installation
- Alerting on blocks could be better sometimes you have to dig deep to figure out if something was actually blocked
- Would like to see integration into PSA software for direct ticket/alert integration
- Improved Endpoint Security
- Combined multiple vendor solutions into a single vendor installation which improved management (for one product versus 2 or 3) and pricing.
While we did evaluate other potential Adaptive Defense 360 / WatchGuard EPDR and security products for our needs, after careful review and real-world test results we found Adaptive Defense 360 to be a notch above them due to the following reasons: ease of management, resource usage, end user issues, price and effectively performing best at its role of Adaptive Defense 360 / WatchGuard EPDR and being able to catch many active zero days in the wild.

Since moving to Adaptive Defense 360 / WatchGuard EPDR, we were able to eliminate 2 different vendor products that we were using before which made management much easier and more efficient since they were combined into a single product. We also found Adaptive Defense 360 to perform much better from a security posture (better detection for zero days, ability to isolate machines) than the other solutions we were previously using

Yes - Cisco Umbrella and Trend Micro XDR. Wanted to ease management by moving to a single product with a single central management console. Also eliminating multiple vendors and saving on costs

Biggest thing was better protection and easier management
Results would still be the same we would still go with Adaptive Defense 360 in a layered approach. It works well for us and our clients.
