Technical Director at CINETIC IT

Integration with security operations centers improves risk analytics but technical support could use enhancement

Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved. It could be improved by the technical teams of Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR). I think the detection and response could be better because the technical team operates detection and response, which is automatic and included in the price. Cloud console could be added as a feature. There is currently no cloud console. They could add this on-premise console to Bitdefender GravityZone Extended Detection and Response (XDR).

Support at a security firm with 51-200 employees

Strengthens remote access security and protects devices with real-time threat detection

Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features in the product, as a reseller, are the integrated SOC; integration with a SOC is one of the advantages."

"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."

"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."

"The product is easy to use."

"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."

"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."

"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."

"Resource overheads have been reduced and we are overall more secure as a business."

"When we provision new laptops for remote employees, Check Point Harmony Endpoint automatically applies our security configurations the moment the device connects to the network, which includes anti-ransomware protections, firewall rules, and web filtering."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its ability to support Windows 7 and other legacy products. We still have users for such systems in the Philippines. I also like its threat-handling and forensic capabilities. The tool is easy to navigate, read, and digest, and its detection capabilities are also good. The solution has good reports that are easy to read."

"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."

"The standout features are primarily EDR and MDR."

"We had a ransomware attack and the SandBlast agent automatically picked up the ransomware."

"Check Point Antivirus is valuable due to its autonomous threat prevention system, which is consistently up-to-date and highly reliable with excellent performance at scale."

"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."

Cons

"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."

"The solution must improve its management features."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."

"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."

"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."

"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."

"The pricing for Check Point Antivirus is a bit higher compared to other vendors or standalone antivirus options, and my request to the company is to consider reducing the licensing costs."

"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."

"Reporting and management could be improved."

"I would like to see them implement a system that would enable us to do certain things from our mobile like applying policies, opening up and blocking ports, and restricting connection. It is because IT personnel are not always around on the premises. We can instantly do these things from our mobile. They should also consider the price so that many people will go for the solution."

"The Infinity Portal login is "iffy" at times."

"The agent's size is very heavy, so it could be reduced to a lighter version for Check Point Harmony Endpoint."

"Check Point offers solutions with only a few features for our company's customers' sites."

"Improvements are required in two key areas: notifications and setup simplification."
