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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."

"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."

"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."

"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."

"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."

"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

Cons

"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."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

"The dashboard can be improved."

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."

"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."

"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

"The license is yearly."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The price is comparable."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The product has average pricing."
