Featured Reviews

Kevin Mabry - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides telemetry, risk assessment, and behavior monitoring
I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing. I think that is crucial and needed, and I don't see that often with most EDRs. The telemetry I get from the tool can be used in a SOC I use. The solution has behavior monitoring that allows you to monitor people's specific behaviour and practices. You can then ask the person to stop or start doing something. You can also do application management and access management. You can do many things within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because it is like a one-stop shop scenario.
CarlosArdila - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides endpoint protection with patch management at reasonable pricing
The solution could improve when the solution keeps adding more new functions. Every three months, they launch something new on it. You should activate all features that you need to activate and work with the same client. You don't need to install a different client for something. For example, it's the same client if you have EPP and want to move into EPDR. You activate the license, and it turns into an EPDR. The solution could have improved availability. When I send a notification, it neutralizes immediately. However, this delay doesn't mean it fails to perform on time. Their notifications arrive a bit later.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The performance is great."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"It has the ability to remotely control user PCs and execute specific commands to ensure their security. However, this capability could also pose some concerns."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"WatchGuard EPDR improves organization primarily by supporting the IT team rather than the end users directly. It helps IT teams accomplish more with fewer people. One of its standout features is the patch management solution, which allows companies without up-to-date services like WSUS to manage patches for Windows and Linux systems. Additionally, it provides the usual endpoint protection features such as virus and malware protection, application control, and website control."
"The product's most valuable features are the zero-trust application service and its capability to detect threats and attacks."
"The reporting feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"The firewall security could be better."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"The product is available at a very high price, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
"WatchGuard EPDR does have areas for improvement. One significant gap is the lack of a virtual patching feature integrated into the endpoint security. This would be particularly useful for endpoints running operating systems that are no longer supported, such as Windows 7."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"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."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The product is available at a high price."
"The price is excellent."
"The solution's pricing is better compared to other products."
