AMBARISH PATKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very 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."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"It's easy to deploy."
"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."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"Solution for endpoint detection and response, with good stability and scalability. Users also benefit from email protection and data loss prevention."
"After that, the client switched to Sophos to get the protection they lacked. It either works or it doesn’t and Sophos works."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is a web filtering and URL sanity checks. Overall the solution is well balanced with all its features."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Intercept X its ability to stay ahead of the infection. By the time the ransomware spreads to the next machine in line, the data has already been encrypted on that workstation. It didn't matter what the ransomware did because could go in and get it back."
"Very stable solution."
"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"We've had difficulty with uninstalling the solution. When we try to uninstall an old version of the basic Sophos Antivirus, it doesn't seem to uninstall completely."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"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."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
