Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It has high stability."
"The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"It offers straightforward integration."
 

Cons

"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"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. 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."
"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."
"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."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline needs to improve its performance. I face issues with performance because we use SPAN, and the SPAN traffic is not good."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The security should be improved."
 

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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I would rate the solution as expensive, around an eight or nine out of ten. There are other competitive solutions available."
"The solution is highly-priced."
