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

"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"The setup was easy."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"The installation is straightforward."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"The most effective features of Intercept X Endpoint for threat prevention are ransomware protection, miscellaneous behavior detection, and network threat protection."
"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the supervisory side of it where we can watch the throughputs, and even the loading of the device, to see how much traffic is happening."
"This is really good because it's applicable to zero-day threats."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
 

Cons

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"Installing Sophos Intercept X was not as straightforward, as we had to ask support and had to work with an integrator, though the process didn't take much time, e.g. it was completed within one hour."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"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 number one thing I would like is if their support could be a little faster and it would be a little easier to get a hold of support when you need them."
"Technical support is too slow to schedule meetings."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."

"The pricing is competitive."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."

"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
