Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Achieving nearly complete protection with reliable configuration management and effective technical support
The most valuable features of GravityZone Business Security are its anti-malware and anti-virus capabilities. The firewall policies are considered very powerful, and it prevents many malicious issues. The solution has its own definitions for viruses or malware, providing timely detection updates. Additionally, their technical support is very effective, with knowledgeable engineers handling cases efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is efficient and lightweight. We have to do security audits every year and we saw how secure Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was, even the plan testers had difficulties taking control of a computer when it was protected. The solution was always rejecting the attacks of the test hackers, it has very good protection."
"I like that the tool is a bit simple to use. In terms of handling phishing and rate mitigation, it is quite good. The product is stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The solution is scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest. The initial setup is straightforward. I have seen a return on investment."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"My client feels protected by it, which is important to me."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
 

Cons

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability."
"If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions."
"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"It is more than adequate, just needing to keep up with industry changes."
"The main issue with Bitdefender is the UI and console. It's not designed with current standards; it's not HTML5 and doesn't work well for navigation, making it a little clunky."
"From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."
"Its subscription is yearly."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
