Straightforward, intuitive and efficient in dealing with all virus-related issues
Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra does have a ransomware remediation, and that's probably one of the areas where they don't highlight using it, especially in comparison to BullWall. Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does. It's a little more delayed. Ransomware control needs to be improved. It's just a feature that needs to be updated and expanded upon. A functionality that I would like to see in the solution is user tracking since you already got all the reporting in there, tell me what sites were blocked, and they should tell me what sites were visited and how often they visit those sites. That would make it a great reporting tool. So, instead of going out and having everything go through a proxy server to track it, it's better just to do it for the EDR software since you're already tracking for blocking sites. It should be able to just give me everything.

Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability
The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application…

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 needs to be more stable."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"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."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"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."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."
"The log correlation is good."
"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."
 

Cons

"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"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."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"Threat detection could be better."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is average."
"The solution is affordable."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"It is an expensive product."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."
"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
