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

"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"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."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"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."
"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 Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the 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."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"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."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
