AMBARISH PATKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has the ability to remotely control user PCs and execute specific commands to ensure their security. However, this capability could also pose some concerns."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"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."
"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 solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"The performance is great."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"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."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"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."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"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."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
