English translation:all-round comparison
Explanation:
I usually translate 360° as "all round". It's hard to be sure without more context, but I would probably translate this phrase as "all-round comparison".

in every aspect / panoramic


Explanation:
"a 360°" means rather "in every aspect" than "total"
I don't know if "confronto" means comparison here; it's rather go for exploration, consideration, examination
