Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 19, 2025

OpenText Core Endpoint Protection and Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security compete in the endpoint security market. Despite both offering lightweight implementation, Bitdefender has an edge due to its advanced network and user analysis capabilities.

Features: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection offers cloud management, ease of deployment, and is known for its AI endpoint security capabilities. Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security provides extensive telemetry capabilities, integration with existing networks, and offers comprehensive security solutions including firewall protection and user behavior analytics.

Room for Improvement: OpenText needs enhancements in reporting, improved threat detection, and control features. Users have experienced slow console performance. Bitdefender requires an improved management interface and better patch management for non-Windows environments with some users needing more intuitive configuration and stronger documentation.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText offers public, private, and hybrid cloud configurations with positive feedback on customer support. Bitdefender provides on-premises and cloud solutions with good integration capabilities, though some users report challenges with support responsiveness. OpenText is slightly favored for reliability in customer support.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText is praised for affordability and transparent pricing with flexible subscriptions. Bitdefender offers pricing flexibility and advanced security features, valued even at a higher price point. OpenText appeals to cost-conscious users, whereas Bitdefender is chosen for its robust security features despite the higher cost.

Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects

I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

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."

"Protection is the most valuable feature."

"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."

"The product is a good standard security tool."

"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

"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."

"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."

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."

"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."

"The solution's stability could be better."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"The licensing costs can vary."

"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."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"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."

"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
