Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

Provides access to route traffic with virtualization allowing you to leverage computing resources
The key dependency lies in the hardware. If you're hosting it in a virtual environment, it relies on the underlying hardware supporting that environment. Physically, you rely on the circuitry, chips, power, and other components. Therefore, using a virtualized platform introduces an additional layer of abstraction. You'll end up wasting money if you don't know what you're doing and use cases. It's not about buying a virtualized firewall. You're getting a virtualized router and a switch combined into one unit capable of performing telco-grade routing at a layer two level. It's a very complex piece of equipment used for threat management. It is capable of much more. We use it for its versatility; it can serve multiple purposes effectively. You can monitor the hypervisor for key performance indicators and understand how it's running and functioning. It integrates well with the most well-known operational toolsets. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."
"One of Juniper vSRX's most valuable features is its integration with safety applications. It keeps the software secure from developers without relying on third-party solutions."
"We like the solution’s protocol and its dashboard system."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. There was no problem. The initial deployment took about one hour."
"It is easy for me to go in and update settings, make changes, or add/remove rules or security."
"It's basic functionality is probably the most valuable feature."
"This solution works well. Their switches and firewall are good."
"Juniper is more flexible with the commit check and the commit confirmed command. The design of the forwarding and contract plan in the operating system is very important for the performance when we have very big traffic."
"The support is excellent."
 

Cons

"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 lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I've talked to people that say Juniper now, as a device, can be a solution for a data center, but in the past, I have not seen this as being possible."
"The solution can be improved by allowing automatic updates for the OS devices."
"The solution could improve its technical support."
"Right now, we are going through issues and problems where the product gets dropped with the connection or during the authentication initial phase. While it could be our problem, we would like to see more stability in this area."
"The user interface could always be better. They could make it simpler and more intuitive."
"The security feature must be improved."
"I would suggest improving the pricing, particularly the licensing model."
"The reporting can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The license is yearly."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"As a customer, the pricing is good for us."
"Our experience purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace was good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is not that costly."
"The solution is pricey."
"The solution is inexpensive."
"The ongoing licensing cost seems to be pretty standard. There are no additional costs."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
