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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 product can scale if you need it to."
"It provides good security."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"The price per endpoint is excellent."
"The solution's most helpful features for threat detection are machine learning analytics and behavior analytics."
"I like the security that this solution provides."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The antivirus feature is very, very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Detection and response is a disadvantage that could be improved."
"The mobile version needs improvement."
"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."
"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."
"The solution must improve its management features."
"The stability could be better."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"he next thing that I would like to see in this solution are DLP features."
"The product is expensive."
"The need to re-engineer the source code to reduce CPU and memory usage. Other areas for improvement include a data-loss prevention solution, enhanced application control, enhanced device control, an endpoint encryption solution, an advanced persistent threats (APT) solution, and an all-in-one solution with one pricing scheme for corporate and enterprise business needs."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for device management and device control."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"I have some PCs with one gigabyte of RAM, and it's not easy to set up Kaspersky on these."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."
"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."
"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."
"We pay for licensing yearly."

"The solution is available at a highly affordable price"
"We have approximately 700 licenses for this solution and we pay annually."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"This solution is priced lower than some of its competitors. The support from Kaspersky is purchased separately."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
