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…
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"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 Ultra is a valuable feature."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"The firewall security could be better."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"The solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"The pricing is competitive."
"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The pricing is high."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
