Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources
Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to deploy."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"The installation is straightforward."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The technical support services are good."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The installation process is very easy, especially since it is on the cloud."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
 

Cons

"The reporting is much too simple."
"They should improve the solution's patch management feature."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"The interface could be improved."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"Notifications are lacking."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"Malwarebytes is too simplistic. From a SOC IR perspective, it doesn't give you very much data around it. It doesn't tie things or provide SHA-1 and SHA-256 detection information, which makes it hard to do an additional investigation."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"The product could be improved in blocking malicious traffic, such as communication with known malicious IP addresses."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a reasonable price."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cost-effective and has the best pricing."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"It is expensive."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
