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…

Never misses anything and has an attractive price point and a simple interface
One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint. This transition would enable automatic remediation of anything that looks dangerous, including within Microsoft 365. For instance, when one of my clients' Microsoft 365 account was breached, Blackpoint identified suspicious activity and disabled the account. It was in Dallas, and we are in California. Blackpoint knew something was wrong there, and they went in and disabled the account. Developing more automated remediation features would elevate them to an MDR level, but I understand that it might affect pricing. They are trying to keep it at a good price point because once they go to MDR, it is probably going to double the price. For now, I find the current features satisfactory, as they continue to add improvements. They have added security awareness training and then log collectors. They are adding pillars as they move along, and I assume they are going to have an option for MDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"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."
"It has the ability to remotely control user PCs and execute specific commands to ensure their security. However, this capability could also pose some concerns."
"It's easy to deploy."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"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."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"What stands out most is their human element: when faced with an unknown threat, real people, not just automated processes, are investigating it, and they're people we trust."
"The stability is perfect."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"Users usually note improvements in a matter of days. In others, it is immediately. It varies according to the environment."
"Huntress Managed EDR is very easy to use. It's geared towards your Windows user who wants convenience. You just need an EXE file to get started. It's set up for convenience to make it easy for you to have security, as opposed to some of the complexities behind the scenes that you don't see."
"Their SOC is super responsive and does a great job of catching incidences and being on top of any issues that arise."
 

Cons

"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"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."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"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."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"The ITDR product is coming along great, however, we are still getting many false positives."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Huntress should have a more user-friendly interface because it takes some understanding to work our way through the interfaces."
"One thing they could improve is evolving from an EDR to an MDR, like Blackpoint."
"The reporting could be improved by providing a more simplified report that can be easily understood by clients. A way to present the data to the client so they understand its importance would be beneficial."
"Ultimately, the clarity of their alerts is paramount for effective threat communication and could benefit from clearer remediation steps."
"To enhance the platform, I suggest adding a feature to forward Huntress's recommended response directly to the client, ensuring their clear understanding of the gathered information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"The pricing for Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is not that high. It's okay for its service, so I would download it on my personal computer and buy it for myself as a customer."
"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"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 Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"While other options have emerged since Huntress' arrival, I believe it still offers the best value for the features and services it provides."
"It is simple. It is reasonable. They raised my prices this year. We never like price increases, but they continue to add value, so we just keep adding agents as we grow and as our clients grow."
"The pricing is competitive, in line with Huntress's offerings, and aligns well with our business model."
"I believe Huntress offers competitive pricing overall."
"The cost-effectiveness of Huntress is much better compared to BlackPoint. Although Huntress does not offer all the finer details that BlackPoint does, it remains much more competitive in pricing."
"We haven't had any problems with Huntress' pricing. We're at 250 workstations, and we've grown considerably this year. They've been able to handle everything that we've thrown at them within that time frame. They're also reducing the price based on how many endpoints we add."
"The Huntress pricing is an excellent value for what the product provides."
"Huntress has a favourable pricing structure, and I appreciate the cost-effectiveness compared to previous solutions."
