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.

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."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"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."
"The performance is great."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"The most valuable features include the ability to raise alarms when there are issues, easier configuration compared to other vendors, centralized update management, and keeping the product updated efficiently."
"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."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The interface is very good."
 

Cons

"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The interface is not the best."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
