Averagely priced, has a straightforward installation, and worth recommending to the mid-level market, but its performance needs improvement
At the moment, I haven't found any issues with Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus, because the customer base is not very high, so I didn't find anything yet. The company I'm in is also providing EMC, as the security settings are done based on customer requirements, so right now, I haven't found any issues. What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus better is for it to have good, easy, and straightforward administrative and troubleshooting functions that I've seen in other enterprise solutions such as SentinelOne, FireEye, and CrowdStrike. I have not observed these in Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. For example, in SentinelOne, I've tested it and in test scenarios, the solution detects a threat, then gives you the exact location of where the threat is, and which files are affected. Sophos also has that feature. I sell Sophos and I've seen that it works pretty well. It also detects threats and shows me the location, and which machines are affected. In Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus, I didn't see these happening. 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. If you go to any review site, you will find that Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus has much fewer reviews compared to SentinelOne and FireEye. Its performance could be better. If Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus can be advertised better, for example, you can give it to the enterprise people so more people can give reviews about it that would help make its performance better.

Provides web protection and filtering and application and peripheral control
We've been selling Intercept X Endpoint for eight years now. It's best suited for customers already using Sophos Firewall or considering one. Deploying both solutions offers synchronized security, where the firewall and endpoint communicate to enhance security posture. If an endpoint is attacked…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Sophos Intercept X has a host of valuable features, including its anti-malware feature, which we considered key."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"I find the security heartbeat feature with synchronized security very useful. It's a very nice feature that allows you to basically switch off an endpoint. When an endpoint has got a virus or something like that, or it's infected or compromised, you can isolate it from the network, but only if you've got an XG Firewall as well. It also provides ease of use. It is the only antivirus that can recognize 25 out of the 36 ransomware and virus techniques that have been often used in terms of the behavior base using heuristics. It's beautiful, utterly amazing. No other antivirus can do that."
"I like the way it goes beyond the office space. Being a cloud-based solution makes it very easy to manage your endpoints within the office. In this time of COVID, you can also very effectively manage people who are working from home."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level. While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best."
"The solution is easy to install."
 

Cons

"The mobile version needs improvement."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"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."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"The graphical interface could improve. Additionally, adding less expensive mobile device support would be helpful. Other solutions have this feature."
"From the management side, we receive detailed information. Sophos has many features, such as Threat Hunting but that comes with the XDR version of the solution. There's Sophos Intercept X and then there's Sophos Intercept X with XDR technology. We bought the XDR and then now the MTR, Managed Threat Response version available too. They have different packages for clients which gives them different options to pick from. If Sophos could combine more features into one package it would be beneficial."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"Intercept X for endpoints is around $35 per user per year. The server version is $95 per server per year."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
"Price-wise, it is good. Currently, we have a three-year plan."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"Its price depends on the scenario. It is very expensive, but it is not more expensive than other vendors. The price of Check Point and other vendors is much higher than Sophos."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Its cost is good."
