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.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"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."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"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."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"We're more familiar with Kaspersky's interface, and we find it more user-friendly. It also has more features than others, like with BitDefender and Mirco. The price is better, too."
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"It has helped our company protect the confidential data of our customers."
"The initial setup was extremely straightforward and very easy."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"The product must improve its price to suit small and mid-size enterprises."
"When I do a malware scan on my computer it takes a long while. This process could improve in the future. Additionally, the security could improve."
"The performance level could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"The price is fair."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It's an affordable security solution."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"I received a very good deal with Kaspersky."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"It is a cost-effective endpoint security service."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
