Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints
The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.

A highly stable and easy-to-deploy product that keeps organizations safe
The product keeps our company safe Recently, a user tried to open an unsafe link, and Malwarebytes stopped them. They kept trying and trying, but they could not open it. Later, it turned out to be a fake Microsoft account. So far, we have faced no issues with the product. It is doing what it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security a nine out of ten."
"It gets the job done, and they are consistently updating it monthly."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The technical support services are good."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
 

Cons

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big. What I mean is the initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max."
"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."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"Notifications are lacking."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."
"The price is fair."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"We expect to pay $1,000 USD a month, depending on the number of users."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
