Room For Improvement

Avast Business Hub needs a comprehensive view, AI threat detection, better protection, faster updates, cheaper pricing, and improved manageability.
Bitdefender GravityZone needs better usability, pricing, integration, and performance, with improvements in reporting, monitoring costs, and mobile features.
However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward.
Currently running on-premise, we are considering moving to the cloud-based Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security because it offers more features compared to the on-premises version.
The initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max.

Bitdefender GravityZone offers flexible, mid-range pricing and modular licensing, with costs from $0.70 to $4.00 per device.
Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, it is affordable.
Maintaining Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has been smooth.

Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security excels in threat detection, ransomware protection, and resource management, enhancing network visibility and user satisfaction.
In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss.
The best feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is that it is lightweight.
It operates in real-time, and we've enabled it to detect malicious activities in our network and at the endpoint level, performing quite effectively.

Crewmem67 - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a free version, is secure and reliable
I'm a consultant. I recommend free Avast, then ESET. If they want to be more secure, you can go to ESET, the bigger license. If you want to have a cheap license, Avast is good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I do prefer ESET, however. Yet I would recommend either product as they are both pretty good.
Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects
I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.
