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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is a good standard security tool."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The solution is broken down into different components from the portals. Web filtering, which is an added feature has been great for us."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"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 initial setup should be made easier."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"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."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"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."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"This product is costly."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
