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.

Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is very easy to set up and easy to use. It is also not resource-intensive."
"Sophos Intercept X is a very effective solution and its being cloud-based is a benefit. Wherever my users are, I can apply policies to them. In the era of mobility, when users are out of the office or they're in different locations, it doesn't matter."
"Intercept X's smart prevention it's very good as so are its machine learning capabilities for troubleshooting channels and files."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"The solution has very good usability."
"The patches on offer are very helpful."
 

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."
"We are not able to merge the sub-estates. If we create multiple sub-states and there may be instances where a user is in a different sub-state, it may not be possible for us to relocate that user from one sub-state to another through the console. We have to merge them manually which is not ideal."
"The problem is that if you have a lot of different components going on, each managed under a different umbrella, then you're going to be spending a lot of time hopping back and forth between the different components to see, "Well, I got hit here. What did my firewall see? I got hit in the firewall, the firewall says it allowed that attack in, did it land on anything to compromise any of my endpoints?""
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"I would like to see better support for virtual and desktop infrastructures."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
 

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."
"They offer both monthly and yearly licenses."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"I have found the price of Sophos Intercept X to be reasonable."
"It's not bad, but compared to competitors, it's a little bit on the high side. The price could be more competitive."
"The price of this product should be reduced because it is a little high."
"While I do not have much experience dealing with the price, we have been entitled to a substantial discount on the solution in our use of it as an educational tool."
"Customers need to pay for a license for Intercept X Endpoint based on the number of users and servers they have. The pricing is considered normal and not overly expensive."
"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."
