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…
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have access to it from anywhere."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"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."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"It is stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The advanced detection features are valuable."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"Kaspersky offers more visible and comprehensive features compared to other products."
 

Cons

"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"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."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."
"The main issue was compatibility with the cloud itself. The CPU usage immediately spiked, causing the machines to hang and sometimes even forcing server or computer restarts."
"One of the main areas where the tool could improve is its integration capabilities. For example, I find it challenging to integrate it with other solutions. It would be helpful if the tool could make it more open to integration with other tools."
"Incorporating an AI protection tool with the capability to detect and prevent zero-day threats, particularly those with a five-star rating in terms of severity would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"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."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
