Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"It's a very stable solution."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"The product is easy to use."
"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."
"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
 

Cons

"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."
"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"The solution must improve its management features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
