Kamel Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, helps against advanced threats, and enhances the security posture
We used Kaspersky for four years. I like Kaspersky more than Bitdefender GravityZone. Kaspersky helps manage everything on the client computers. It is easier to find files easily using Kaspersky. It is easier to manage things with Kaspersky. However, Bitdefender GravityZone is easier to use. The GUI is more simple. Kaspersky‘s GUI is more difficult, so we switched to Bitdefender GravityZone.
Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"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 level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
 

Cons

"The solution must improve its management features."
"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."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
 

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."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is very competitive."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet is cheap."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
