Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 19, 2025

OpenText Core Endpoint Protection and Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security compete in the endpoint security market. Despite both offering lightweight implementation, Bitdefender has an edge due to its advanced network and user analysis capabilities.

Features: OpenText Core Endpoint Protection offers cloud management, ease of deployment, and is known for its AI endpoint security capabilities. Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security provides extensive telemetry capabilities, integration with existing networks, and offers comprehensive security solutions including firewall protection and user behavior analytics.

Room for Improvement: OpenText needs enhancements in reporting, improved threat detection, and control features. Users have experienced slow console performance. Bitdefender requires an improved management interface and better patch management for non-Windows environments with some users needing more intuitive configuration and stronger documentation.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText offers public, private, and hybrid cloud configurations with positive feedback on customer support. Bitdefender provides on-premises and cloud solutions with good integration capabilities, though some users report challenges with support responsiveness. OpenText is slightly favored for reliability in customer support.

Pricing and ROI: OpenText is praised for affordability and transparent pricing with flexible subscriptions. Bitdefender offers pricing flexibility and advanced security features, valued even at a higher price point. OpenText appeals to cost-conscious users, whereas Bitdefender is chosen for its robust security features despite the higher cost.

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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."

"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."

"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 installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"Low performance requirements."

"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."

"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."

"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."

"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."

"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."

"The solution's stability could be better."

"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."

"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."

"The phishing feature report showed zero results, and the patch management component is one of the two main issues that need improvement."

"The dashboard can be improved."

"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"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."

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"The pricing is high."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Work on a price tier plan."
