Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The setup was easy."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"It is easy to manage."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."
 

Cons

"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"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."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"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."
"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 on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The solution could always be more secure."
 

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."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
