Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Saad Qaiser - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides web protection and filtering and application and peripheral control
I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the ease of use and the policy options that are simple to understand. Overall, the protection is good."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The performance is good."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the minimal configuration needed for the end user and the central view of all the endpoints. There are plenty of tools to control and manage the endpoints. Additionally, there is the capability of connecting the endpoint to the CLI."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
 

Cons

"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"Should include additional integration."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"They might want to offer an MSP model for licensing, to offer the solution as a software as a service."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"The solution is expensive, and it could be made cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"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."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"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."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"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."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The license is yearly."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It is a high-cost solution."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
"As I am not responsible for paying the bills I cannot comment on the pricing."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
