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…
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"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."
"I like the risk assessment tool built into Bitdefender GravityZone EDR because I'm really into risk assessments and vulnerability testing."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Speed"
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"Low performance requirements."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
 

Cons

"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."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
