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

"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"It is stable."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"It was easy to set up."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
"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."
"All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"Very stable solution."
 

Cons

"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"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."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"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."
"We are not able to merge the sub-estates. If we create multiple sub-states and there may be instances where a user is in a different sub-state, it may not be possible for us to relocate that user from one sub-state to another through the console. We have to merge them manually which is not ideal."
"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"The majority of our systems are MacBooks and their solution release cycle is slow to endorsing or support the MacBook's latest OS or hardware platform. For example, when Sophos macOS Big Sur version 11 was released, it took them a while to support this version of OS. A similar situation occurred when the MacBook M1 hardware CPU was released. They have not fully supported the native M1 CPU to this day. They need to speed up the solutions release cycle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"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."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"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 found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"Licensing costs are not expensive."
