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…

User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.

"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"In EDR, they have a sandbox feature. Kaspersky's threat detection and response capability is very good, making it a strong feature."
"We use the solution for endpoint protection, virus detection, and centralized administration."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"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."
"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."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"Kaspersky could be improved by better malware protection. They have to take advantage of Malwarebytes and integrate the same engine inside Kaspersky. I use Malwarebytes as well because Kaspersky doesn't always detect malware."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"Currently, it doesn't have a cloud option. This is something that they should look into going forward."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"The initial setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"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."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"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."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"The solution is affordable."
"The pricing is competitive."
"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."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"I think the price of this solution is good."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It would be beneficial if the price could be reduced, and improved management of the license allocation for adding additional Endpoint users would be advantageous."
