The valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security according to the reviews include:
- The ability to monitor network activity and a comprehensive dashboard.
- Low system energy consumption compared to other products.
- The Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
- Easy deployment for IT teams.
- Protection against malware and comprehensive firewall protection.
- Remote administration and deployment capabilities.
- Anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics.
- Security of DNS protection and the core security antivirus engine.
- Lightweight application and quick cloud-based updates.
- Effective protection against malware without causing system slowdown.
- The built-in EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution for risk management and monitoring device and employee behavior at a deeper level.
- "The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."
- "Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
- "We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
Improvements needed for Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include:
1. Stability: Some users experienced crashes and had to reinstall the solution. The solution's stability could be better.
2. Performance: The solution is sluggish on low-RAM devices and could be improved for better performance.
3. Connection: The connection with the controller needs improvement, as some connections are currently unstable.
4. Live Monitoring: The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement.
5. RDP: There are occasional problems with the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security that could be improved.
6. Dashboard: The dashboard of the solution can be improved for better usability and functionality.
7. Cloud Version: The cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), while the on-premises version has that capability. This is an area that needs improvement.
8. Patch Management: The patch management section is good but could be improved. Issues with macOS or Linux need to be addressed, and the patch management should cover other operating systems apart from Windows and Apple.
9. DLP Solution: Integrating a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution with antivirus for endpoint security would make Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security a strong competitor with Symantec.
10. Application Control: The Application Control feature is liked but can be tricky to manage. Improvements are needed, such as implementing applications automatically based on the environment and allowing easier selection of allowed and blocked applications.
11. Risk Management and Reporting: The risk management tool lacks reporting capabilities, making it difficult to generate comprehensive reports for clients or different environments. The solution should provide more detailed information on blocked activities and provide reports on all actions taken.
- "I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
- "The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
- "The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
