SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Provides detailed event investigation and endpoint control but needs better Mac support and UI improvements
I find the advanced behavioral analytics feature in Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a little gimmicky, as I don't usually find much use for it. The advanced behavioral analytics feature needs to be optimized to be more user-friendly and easier to work with. We don't specifically look for the customizable dashboards within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR; rather, we get the logs on our SIEM solution, QRadar, where we have created the dashboards. We also have Tableau and Power BI, so we don't utilize any dashboards on the EDR front. I would like to optimize the incident response area as well, especially when comparing my experience with CrowdStrike, which is relatively more responsive and easier to navigate when there are multiple hosts involved. Other areas of improvement for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR include its lack of support for Mac devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"It was easy to set up."
"The product is worth the investment."
"It is stable."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"Auto-Remediation"
"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 ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"The solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"The licensing cost has been manageable for our small team."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"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."
