Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"We can scale the solution."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
 

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 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."
"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."
"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 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."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
