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.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool 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 most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"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."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"It's very easy to deploy, we don't have any problem or issues. It's most full automatic. It basically takes the assumption that everything is supposed to be a suspect; files, processes, URL accesses, and so on."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"I've found it's got excellent web protection."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"Panda Security solution has a feature to block any unknown process and that is what is best about it."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability could be better."
"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."
"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."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"It would be nice if Panda Security Adaptive Defense could come out with remote desktop usage."
"The stability could be improved. My teammates who use Panda Security and I have experienced some issues."
"Their MacOS support isn't that good."
"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."
"Panda Security Adaptive Defense is stable. However, when updates are being done on the computers we can experience some troubles because the computers need to be restarted. When we start the computers they are not functioning correctly and we have not received proper feedback regarding this random issue."
"Occasionally, we suffer from little bugs that give us the wrong message."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The license is yearly."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
