Pros

"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."

"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."

"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"Sometimes, the platform takes a while to allow connectivity on the Mac endpoints."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"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."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"The interface is not the best."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."

"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
