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

Pros

"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"Go for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR without any second thought."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"The setup was easy."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"The analytics are important because if there is an abnormality then it provides that information to us."
"The interface is very good."
 

Cons

"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"The pricing of WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response could be improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"The solution is a bit confusing and there are unusual complications with setup."
