Quotes from Members

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

"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."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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 only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."

"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."
 

Cons

"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."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."

"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
