Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use EPDR for my consulting firm and deploy it for all of my clients. It's been very effective in shutting down bad or unknown applications.

Pros and Cons

Blocks unknown programs
Easy to manage
Easy to upgrade

Easier to see and manage licensing

Return on Investment

Improved endpoint performance and security
Reduced staffing costs

We used Kaspersky for all of our clients for many years. It was a good platform, but Panda Adaptive Defense works better and is easier to manage. Adaptive Defense 360 classifies the network environment first and will only allow trusted applications in the future upon review and classification as good ware.

It is very good with only a few things that I would suggest to improve. Some PCs get re-discovered when they are connected to a different subnet as unprotected PCs even though they are already protected.

Central Management

It's really easy to see the entire network at a glance and all policies and PCs can be easily managed.

Other Software Used

Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's overall well suited. The best protection I worked with so far. It is easily manageable from one simple platform and can be managed centrally by partner who can easily assign enterprise policies.
