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.

A highly stable solution that protects computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers
We use ZoneAlarm for the end user's mobile devices. We try to implement the solution across the enterprise because several mobile users are looking to work from many devices ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers. So, the solution gives us better security…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"It gives us security for the users' mobiles and ends up protecting us in a significant way."
"The solution maintains reasonable scalability."
"This antivirus is regularly updated, and the updates can be scheduled."
"The solution really focused on giving more security than an antivirus."
"The phone access scan stands out as the most valuable feature for me."
"The product's most valuable feature is the detection engine due to its ability to identify threats."
"Personally, I find the Game Mode of the Firewall very useful."
"ZoneAlarm protects all computers from viruses, spyware, and hackers."
 

Cons

"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."
"The stability must be improved."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"The support is not always so effective."
"I would like it to be integrated with the Check Point centralization solution like Infinity Portal. It would be great to be able to manage it through the same website."
"Currently, the client is only available for the Windows Operating System but it would be good if it were released for Mac OS as well."
"They need to update and improve the features available for Mac."
"Some of our users say that the interface is a little bit outdated for 2020, and want it to be more modern and cozy."
"Perhaps the primary area for potential enhancement is to make it faster, ensuring a more seamless experience while maintaining robust security features."
"We'd like better performance of the network equipment. There are high-speed environments where an immediate response is required."
"They should release a single update with all the necessary characteristics to avoid being in a cycle of consecutive updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."

"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"We use the free version of the software, but it can be upgraded to the paid Extreme Security edition."
"The pricing is reasonable, with a yearly renewal license costing seventy dollars."
