"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."

"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We take the subscription. Only we're taking that GravityZone and protection of the environment and the system. We didn't subscribe to the detection response."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
