Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."
"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."
"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."
"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"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."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
 

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."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"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."
"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 mobile version needs improvement."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."
"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
