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 features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The performance is great."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"It was easy to set up."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"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."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"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."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
 

Cons

"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"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."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The interface could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
