Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

Includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data, but the monthly reporting feature can be improved
The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved. Since we have KPIs in our organization, we have to do a lot of manual work while preparing the monthly reports. Though I can see the installed software, I don't get a consolidated report on them. The solution's software inventory features can be improved to be more actionable. Although they have all the necessary information on the portal, it's not actionable enough.
