Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Allows users to easily monitor miscellaneous activities occurring in their environments
The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required. It would be good if Jamf Protect could be integrated with Jamf Pro and used as a single solution. There are a couple of improvements where there is a need to change a few things. There are also a couple of things that need to be removed and merged into the main tool, Jamf Pro. The solution's technical team needs to improve because somewhere I felt from my personal experience that unless Jamf's team puts in an effort to understand the requirements of its customers, help can't be provided. The help provided by Jamf's team is on the basis of what they know, so I feel that they need to put a bit of effort into understanding what customers expect from the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"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."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
 

Cons

"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"We've experienced multiple failures during appliance upgrades, sometimes requiring us to resort to backup."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"Beginners need initial training."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The price is fair."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
