Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"The performance is great."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The setup was easy."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
 

Cons

"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"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."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
