Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints
The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.

Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
 

Cons

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"The price is very competitive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."

"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
