Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"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."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"This solution is stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"It's excellent at detecting viruses."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"It has many features, like deploying a package to many clients, an MDM solution, etc."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"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."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"It would be preferable if the product were more proactive and more modern in its approach to security and protection."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"There should be some AI involved. We already have machine learning involved in recent releases but machine learning should be more enhanced in the upcoming versions."
"From time to time, some users loose connection via the Network Agent."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
