Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a bit expensive in the Philippines."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"The solution is affordable."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
