Bitdefender GravityZone EDR Reviews

When we are trying to eliminate the virus from the endpoint, and we are making some policies to block a USB port, we use this solution. We can enable an anti-phishing policy on it. If someone reaches a website that is not good, we directly get a notification. 

We can see if there are patches or if the applications are good or not.

The best thing I have found is that we have a centralized dashboard. 

The feature which I like is the anti-phishing feature. We get notified directly if someone might click on a phishing link.

The initial setup is easy.

It is easily integrated with our controller. However, it's not directly integrated with it. When we took our system endpoints in our anti-directory, we did not see them in our different antivirus directory. Once we install the agent in it, it'll show that. It would be good if they directly integrate with our anti-directory, so whenever the endpoints come into our domain, we can directly install the agent through the web portal into the endpoint.

If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good. We don't have to handle it manually.

A new user might have issues with the initial setup. It's easier to handle if a person is knowledgeable.

It would be ideal if they offered application patches.

I've used the solution for four to five years. 

Every person in the company uses the solution right now. There are at least 250 people on the solution. It's used on both Windows and Mac OS.

I've never personally contacted technical support.

The setup all depends on the user's knowledge. If a user is new, it'll be difficult. If they're used to it, it'll be easier. In my case, I have had some practice with it, so it will not be difficult for me. I would rate the seven out of ten in terms of ease of setup.

It doesn't take too much time to install the product.

We handled the initial setup ourselves in-house. We directly take the agent and install it on the portal directly. After that, the agent does all the work.

We're customers and end-users. 

We are using the normal version, not plus.

While anyone can use the solution, users should first go with their use cases. You have to see if the software is applicable to your environment or not. You have to know how you are going to protect your endpoints from the outside. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's good for protection and has good features. 

We don't have a specific use case for the product. We offer it to our clients.

It's basically used to protect endpoints and servers.  

It protects almost everything the client needs. It depends on the client how they use it, however, the security is very good.

It's easy to sell. If we speak about the parts, the product is easy to sell. 

Compared to other products, it's more complete. It has a lot of features. 

It's easy to deploy. 

I can't recall coming across an area that is lacking. 

Technical support could be faster and more responsive. 

The cost is a bit high.

We've been working with the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. Our clients have been satisfied with the performance. 

The solution is best suited for small or medium-sized organizations. While it's good for all the companies, it is easier to sell to small and medium companies than to bigger companies. Bigger companies, develop software, develop use cases, develop everything. It's more time involved when you deal with larger organizations and their more complex setups.

For the most part, it is easy to scale. 

I've dealt with support several times. In some cases, when the cases are more complicated, it takes too much time to resolve a problem. It would be better if we could just call someone. Right now, we have to email back and forth. If they don't understand what your message is then it's more back and forth. A phone call would be faster. We've had a few cases that were not easy to resolve and there were just too many emails to deal with.

Neutral

We have used EDR solutions with other vendors. Their prices are usually too high in comparison.

It's very easy to set up. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

It's simple to deploy and you can really control every aspect. It's a good product to work with. I'm not sure, however, the exact amount of time it takes to deploy the product. I'm not usually directly involved. 

I'd rate it five out of five in terms of the ease of implementation. 

Our clients tell us they don't have any maintenance to worry about. 

We do provide implementation services to our clients. 

The pricing is expensive. I'd rate t a three out of five in terms of availability. However, some products have fewer features.

The cost is negotiable. 

I'm a distributor.

Every time there's an update, we present it to all our partners and to our clients. We tend to work with the latest version. 

I'd advise anyone to try the product. Try a demo and see how it works and how it might work for your organization. It's quite a good solution.

I'd rate the product eight out of ten.

We use this solution to secure our networking. We have joined Aramco as a vendor and have specifications that are implemented in our network, firewall, security and multi-factor authenticator.

You can control everything, including monitoring of all websites and blocked devices, from one place. If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions. 

This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned. 

We have been using this solution for six years.

This is a stable solution. 

If you wanted to scale this solution, you should make a comparison to other software such as Sophos and Trend Micro.

We currently have 50 users on this solution. 

The technical support for this solution is good but could be improved for Arabic countries.

The Bitdefender setup is very straightforward. You add the email for all users and send them a link to install it. Before they install the solution, you have to specify the settings for your environment. This ensures that when users complete installation, all settings are correct. This process is very easy. 

I installed the solution with the help in configuration from a Bitdefender consultant. This took three to four days. 

Licensing is usually for a three year period.

We are moving away from using this solution. Our financial manager requires a contract and not all companies provide this so we are looking for one that can. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I used Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for endpoint security.

The firewall security could be better.

I have been using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for approximately three years.

Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is stable.

I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable.

We have approximately 10 people using this solution in my organization.

I have not needed to use technical support.

I have previously used Panda Security, and I switched because I did not trust it.

The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra was easy. The full process took two weeks.

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

We have the head of the IT department who does the deployment and maintenance of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra.

I have not seen a return on investment with this solution.

When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market.

I have recently changed from Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to Check Point Harmony because my IT security partner recommended it.

Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is a good solution, but it's not the best. The Check Point Harmony solution is cheaper, and the firewall is safer.

I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra a seven out of ten.

The solution suits the needs of our business model. 

The URL filtering features should be addressed. 

The installation capabilities should be improved, especially when new updates come out. Sometimes, installation requires one to get to the level of having to install the agents. The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do. 

We have been using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for over a year. 

We find the rollout to be stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

As we keep on expanding and opening new businesses, we have definite plans to increase the usage within the coming year. 

We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers.

We have made use of technical support and I believe this is something one wishes to experience as time goes by. 

The installation capabilities should be improved, especially when new updates come out. Sometimes, installation requires one to get to the level of having to install the agents. The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do.

The process lasted three or four minutes. 

The installation can be done on one's own or with the help of a technical team. We have a team that handles this.

We did this at the group level and manage different entities. There are so many factors that are involved in the installation. We must account for the number of endpoint devices that we're working with, their geographical coverage, the time involved, and the network experience website. In cases where we face obstacles on the network, the downloading of the agents prior to the commencement of the installation is quite time consuming. 

Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license. 

Our subscription is yearly. 

We did evaluate other options and found that they provide good antivirus solutions. However, we felt the added functionality of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to suit our business model well. Our business model does not allow us to invest in other, unified, solutions when it comes to other aspects of security. This is because of how the business model is and how the other branches are set up. 

I am satisfied with the overall updates that are introduced and they continue to do so on their central panel, especially on the reporting side. My hope is that they continue with this trend. 

The solution is cloud-based. 

If I'm doing a cumulative account of all the business entities within our group, I would say that there are 5,000 people making use of the solution. 

I consider Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be one of the best integrator solutions. We have never faced challenges when it comes to support. We are talking about a very good solution which works for both small and large enterprises. This is an antivirus solution which truly invested in centralized management, something which allows one to centrally manage his policies and do monitoring irrespective of where the endpoint devices are located. 

We have been interacting with different resellers in disparate entities, something which is influenced by the time one buys and the geographical location and which is done to avoid tax issues both here and there. I believe this is something we will look to consolidate in the near future. 

I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra as a nine out of ten. 

The solution is an antivirus; it's our endpoint security.

This product is quite stable. I'm satisfied with the performance.

It's a scalable product.

I find the solution easy to use. 

We've had no issues so far.

The installation is straightforward. 

We'd like to have an encryption model within it. They need to improve their encryption capabilities. 

I've been using the solution for three years. It's been a while. 

The stability has been good. The performance is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability of the product is great. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem. 

I've never contacted technical support in the past. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. It's a simple installation and it was issue-free so far and therefore I've never needed help. 

I did not previously use any other solutions. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not difficult at all to implement it.

I can handle the implementation myself. It's not hard to do. You don't need an integrator or consultant to assist.

You do need to pay for a license in order to use the product.

I pay for a yearly license. 

Before choosing Bitdefender, I did not evaluate other solutions first. 

I have the solution deployed on my laptop. I use it for my own personal purposes. I am a customer and an end-user. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to other users. 

The solution provides security, including endpoint and network security. 

The solution is scalable, stable, robust and very flexible and intuitive. It's probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment.

When one designs for the cloud, the Windows client, no actual package is provided. This is an issue which should be addressed. The package must be downloaded and, when this is accomplished, it does an additional download. On certain older computers this can take  a long while. 

This contrasts with the Mac version, which is very quick. There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package.

I suppose that the deployment could be faster, although this is not really a criticism, as this involves the design. There is always a difference in Windows and Mac architecture, so I would not count this as a complaint. It would be nice if the Windows deployment could be improved, although this does not result in any major difficulties. 

We have been using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for a year or two. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I have contacted technical support on a couple of occasions. While it takes a bit of time to receive a response, this can only be attributed to the difference in time zones. When they do respond, I find them to be very good and helpful. 

While the solution is easy to install, when one designs for the cloud, the Windows client, no actual package is provided. This must be downloaded and, when complete, an additional download is required. On certain older computers this can take a long time. 

I do everything on my own. I am a managed service provider. Although there are certain people who work with me, I essentially manage the security side of things independently. 

As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis.

The reason I gave the solution a nine out of ten is because SentinelOne is slightly better, although I do not make use of it. 

SentinelOne requires less hands-on involvement than Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra. One can essentially get it up and running without the need to do very much. While Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra meets 99 percent of this criteria, the remaining one percent requires a bit of manual intervention. This is not to say that the solution could be easier to use. This is not a criticism, as we are talking about different products. I have been using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra and have no intention of leaving it. 

We are using the solution with nearly 100 endpoints. 

The solution is cloud-based.

I would absolutely recommend it to others. 

I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra as a nine out of ten. 

We are mainly using the solution for management because it contains a variety of different tools. For example, it has EDR and NTSA which are integrated into the solution enabling it to monitor threats on the network and the endpoint site. Additionally, we are using it because of the Patch Management encryption module tool. It essentially provides what we need in terms of our next-generation endpoint. 

The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use. 

In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution.

In a future release, they should include mobile devices within the cloud setup. 

I have used Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for three years. 

We find the solution to be stable. We have not experienced anything to be alarmed about during the time we have used it.

The solution is easy to scale. The growth of our company requires only to request for more licenses and does not require additional cost. 

The solution has a local technical support office that responds within 30 minutes, which is satisfactory. 

I would rate the technical support of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra an eight out of ten. 

I have used McAfee, Kaspersky, and ESET.

The initial setup of the solution was very simple and straightforward. The installation was finished within a day by our technical team.  

The solution requires a technical team for deployment. The team is able to advance it up to the directory, it is very simple. 

The solution does not require much maintenance because the updates happen automatically. However, there are two engineers involved in administration when there is anything requiring attention. For example, when there is a new feature that we want to enable.

The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees.  

I recommend the solution because it has great flexibility and the agility of the solution over time is great.

I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra an eight out of ten.
