Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product provides a single dashboard.""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.""Protection is the most valuable feature.""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.""You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines.""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.""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.""The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."

"The SVM deployment has very good performance.""Using this solution allows us to set up rule-based access control.""The most valuable features of the solution are VM security, VLP, and threat protection.""When it comes to their firewall, it notified me about a possible infection.""I like Sophos Virtualization Security's built-in antivirus and malware protection. The firewalls are pretty stable. It's just a matter of updating the virus signatures, and they're pretty good about providing those updates regularly."

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.""We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it.""The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control.""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.""Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance.""There is room for improvement in CPU utilization.""Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

"I would like to see some new features for improving the security part of the solution.""Sophos Virtualization Security requires more usage. For example, if you have a virtual service line of 100 nodes, you are unable to deploy them from the console to a particular environment.""The solution would be improved if all of the advanced features were included in the SVM.""I wish Sophos could offer the solution at a lower price, but I doubt they will.""We are unable to reliably specify bandwidth limits for particular clients, which is something that needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
  • "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."
  • "There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
  • "The licensing costs can vary."
  • "The license is yearly."
  • "Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
  • "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."
  • "We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

  • "For virtualization security, the cost is approximately $50 USD per seat."
  • "Depending on the subscription, the price ranges from $700 to $1,000. There's a subscription for the antivirus and malware and another that includes web and email. So you might need that extended subscription if you were housing an email firewall. Otherwise, you pay a flat rate for the firewall. It's not based on the number of users."
