Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects
I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"The solution is stable."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The user interface is outdated."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
