Pros

"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"The installation is straightforward."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"It has the ability to remotely control user PCs and execute specific commands to ensure their security. However, this capability could also pose some concerns."
"We are hoping to automate detection and response and take advantage of user behavior analytics, given that we are working from home. About half of our workers are still remote, so Active Response gives us that visibility and lets us automate a number of those events."
"It's a little lighter compared to the older version, which was mostly signature-based."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"The alerts provided by Trellix Active Response are its most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"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."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"The interface could be improved."
"While the product is good, we are currently facing support issues."
"There are some components on the cloud that should also reside in the on-prem deployment models but don't."
"I also expected Active Response 's user interface to be much more analytical."
"The only area for improvement is regarding operational technology devices, specifically the engineering automation systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"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."
"Our costs were somewhere around $600K in Trinidad dollars, which might be about $100K US. We have the ETP plus the EDR. Our recent renewal was 1800 licenses as opposed to the full amount. Our transaction cost was about $600K Trinidad dollars, which is somewhere around $90-100K US."
