Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"The installation is straightforward."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"The stability must be improved."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
