Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are the threat detection technologies, and activity monitoring and support tools. Additionally, the port and USB security, and antivirus are effective."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"We have a central console and from there you can monitor all workstations via an agent."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"My impression of the stability of this solution is good. We have not had any issues with stability."
 

Cons

"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."
"The firewall security could be better."
"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."
"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 would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The stability must be improved."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"We'd like more integrations to be available in the future."
"Could include some additional protection."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"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."
"The installation process could be more streamlined."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is average."
"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."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
"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."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
