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 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

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"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."
"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Auto-Remediation"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Low performance requirements."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability could be better."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"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."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"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."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is yearly."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"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."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"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."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"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."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
