Protected client experience with good security and a straightforward setup
One of my clients is using GravityZone Business Security, although I do not use it personally. I help manage it for them I can't provide specifics. My client feels protected by it, which is important to me. From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like. The ROI is not good…

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

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 the cheapest in the market."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"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."
"GravityZone provides information about over-the-air data flow, standalone application security, and the infrastructure architecture required to meet the standalone security requirements of the complete SaaS infrastructure."
"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."
"The security and vulnerability assessment features are valuable."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"This product is easy to use."
"The setup and implementation are easy."
"It helps to improve our security for our mobile and VMware infrastructure. The remote tasks are great."
"The most valuable features in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business are protection and encryption. Additionally, the interface is good and it can be integrated with Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"The interface is friendly."
 

Cons

"Technical support could always be improved."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
"Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."
"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."
"I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The product offers support only through mail and not on the phone."
"We've found that sometimes the solution is not doing its job in detecting some malware."
"The performance of our machines tended to slow down under Kaspersky. That definitely needs to be addressed. I remember I had a pretty good Dell Notebook, and this product slowed it down quite a bit."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The threat intelligence features are not up to date."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
