Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.

Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"It is stable."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"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."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"It was easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
