Panda Dome Advanced review

Panda Dome Advanced builds on Panda's Essential plan, which already includes real-time antivirus, a firewall for Windows, Wi-Fi protection, safe browsing against phishing and a Dark Web Scanner. Advanced adds ransomware protection, data protection for private files and parental control, which makes it the sensible Panda tier for families. Device counts are flexible, from 1 device to an unlimited plan, and the apps cover Windows, Android, Mac and iOS. The bundled VPN is limited to 150 MB per day, which is fine for checking email on public Wi-Fi but not much more. Panda's US page showed prices in Polish zloty from our location, so we have marked the USD price as pending. Panda also offers a free Dome version for Windows if you want basic antivirus without the suite tools, but that free tier does not include the parental and ransomware features of Advanced.

Who it is for

Families who want a Windows firewall, phishing protection and parental controls with flexible device counts.
