Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"The product is easy to use."
"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
 

Cons

"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
