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 most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

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."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."
"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."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
