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…
Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"The performance is good."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"Scalability is good."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."
"The forensics within the solution are quite good. The ransomware mitigation is also impressive."
"The client isolation feature is a very effective feature."
 

Cons

"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"The main real-time scanning takes most of the processing power of my notebook."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"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."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"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."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"The pricing is quite expensive compared to the rest. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten; one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Its cost is good."
"The product is moderately priced."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
