Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"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."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The most valuable feature is Endpoint's management."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"Has great behavior detection and a very good firmware scanner."
"The content filtering options are good."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
 

Cons

"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 need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"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."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"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 interface could be improved."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"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."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"It does not cover all of our security issues."
 

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."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"The pricing for Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is not that high. It's okay for its service, so I would download it on my personal computer and buy it for myself as a customer."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
