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…
Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"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."
"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 setup was easy."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"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."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"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 dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"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."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
 

Cons

"The reporting is much too simple."
"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."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a reasonable price."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"The price is very competitive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Cynet is cheap."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"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."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
