Provides telemetry, risk assessment, and behavior monitoring
I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing. I think that is crucial and needed, and I don't see that often with most EDRs. The telemetry I get from the tool can be used in a SOC I use. The solution has behavior monitoring that allows you to monitor people's specific behaviour and practices. You can then ask the person to stop or start doing something. You can also do application management and access management. You can do many things within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because it is like a one-stop shop scenario.

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

"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."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"It's a very stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"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."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"I consider the heuristics to be most valuable, the fact that the solution does not work solely on signatures."
"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"The solution protects us."
 

Cons

"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."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"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."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"Should include additional integration."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."
"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"When you start going to the EDR technologies and the MTR, it is a little bit expensive. It's a very good technology, and obviously, you're going to pay for it, but the pricing could do a little bit of work."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"The solution requires an annual subscription."
"It is not very expensive but I don't have specific pricing details. The licensing is usually done on yearly basis."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"The product is moderately priced."
