Provides telemetry, risk assessment, and behavior monitoring
I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing. I think that is crucial and needed, and I don't see that often with most EDRs. The telemetry I get from the tool can be used in a SOC I use. The solution has behavior monitoring that allows you to monitor people's specific behaviour and practices. You can then ask the person to stop or start doing something. You can also do application management and access management. You can do many things within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because it is like a one-stop shop scenario.

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 product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"The setup was easy."
"It is stable."
"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."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"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 pricing was good."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
