Pros

"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."

"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."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
