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

"It is stable."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The product is worth the investment."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
 

Cons

"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"The firewall security could be better."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
