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…
Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight 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

"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"It's a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"Ransomware protection is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"What I have found the most valuable about Sophos Intercept X is the ease of use with management administration and the solution's ability to stop exploits and ransomware."
"It is a practically maintenance free intelligent system that independently protects environments from malicious attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"Everything in Intercept X Endpoints is much centralised which makes it easy for our team to work with. The functions are in a single portal."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The stability must be improved."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"As for improvement, more notifications or emails about what to watch out for globally would be nice. For instance, information about the spread of a current phishing campaign or ransomware would be very helpful. I find that I have to dig in the back to find out what is happening on the global scene for things to be aware of."
"Intercept X Endpoint sometimes slows down machines due to high CPU utilization and significant RAM consumption during scanning."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"Sophos Intercept X doesn't have its own firewall that utilizes the Windows Firewall or intrusion prevention."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."

"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."
