Featured Reviews

SimonClark - PeerSpot reviewer
Good quality ransomware antivirus that provides automatic patch management
Bitdefender GravityZone XDR is a good quality ransomware antivirus product. We like it because it's an industry-quality antivirus as opposed to some of the better-known ones like Symantec or Norton. Bitdefender has a better reputation for being up-to-date and picking up more threats. Patch management is important to keeping companies secure. The solution has an automatic patch management capability. Customers never find their software or operating systems vulnerable because Bitdefender would have automatically patched them. Bitdefender sells XDR and EDR products, but we tend to stop at the EDR level. BitDefender has lots of modules if people want to pay for them. We primarily push encryption patching and antivirus and integrate that into the security operations center.
Saad Qaiser - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides web protection and filtering and application and peripheral control
I recommend that Intercept X Endpoint should include a patch assessment feature. Various vendors offer virtual patching solutions, which could be a game-changer, especially for the financial sector where frequent service restarts are challenging. These solutions allow patching servers without the need for restarts. Incorporating these features into Intercept X Endpoint would enhance its effectiveness in securing endpoints and servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find that the auto-response capability is most valuable."
"It provides an in-depth analysis and gives recommendations, along with a historical search capability."
"The solution has an automatic patch management capability."
"I would rate GravityZone XDR more than nine out of ten."
"I appreciate the overall utilization of AI to enhance security posture."
"Scalability is pretty easy. It's easy to increase the capacity. You can just add on licenses to the existing license, and the duration of the license can be adjusted. For example, you've already bought a license for a year, and you want to add some more users. We can just add on licenses for the remaining period so that the entire organization can have the same expiry date. That makes renewal easier."
"The HyperDetect feature in GravityZone XDR is effective."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"Technical support from Sophos is rated as nine out of ten, which represents high quality."
"It is stable and has a good price. I find it very good."
"It's a good antivirus software and has a lot of features. It now integrates with their on-premises firewall, which is perfect."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"Very stable solution."
"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."
 

Cons

"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."
"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products. Additionally, there might be a need to simplify the interface in the future."
"It's not very mature, and additional costs are involved."
"Another area of improvement is CPU utilization. CPU utilization could be improved."
"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products."
"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"The detection and the AI capabilities should be improved upon."
"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."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"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 after sales service and support could be improved."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"It's not the price of the software itself that makes it expensive. It's because you have to buy a VM; you have to buy additional hardware. All those things make it slightly costlier."
"We were able to eliminate the ransomware using the one-month, full-featured trial license."
"The price is pretty good."
"Compared to other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, we are most certainly happy with its pricing. We did a three year-business deal."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"We have bought a three-year license."
