Featured Reviews

Jörg Köhler - PeerSpot reviewer
Setup is smooth and management is seamless, while improvements in email filtering transparency enhance efficiency
For data correlation, we just haven't worked long enough with it to assess its impact on our overall threat response strategy. We prefer a system that simply informs us when there is a problem; we don't want to engage too much in threat hunting. Therefore, we're not looking to create a SOC from this, which is also why we moved from XDR to MDR. There are areas for improvement, including the difficulty in getting the right handles on the applied email filters. It's sometimes unclear why one email is treated as spam and another is not, even if they contain similar content. Making the process of how emails are treated a bit more transparent would be beneficial.
Suwandhi Suraweera - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers advanced filtering features and benefits from improved licensing and performance
There is a licensing issue with Intercept X Endpoint. Their licenses are user-based. Most of our customers use per device licenses, and they need per device licenses because they use one PC for multiple accounts. This creates a problem. There was one customer who complained about the slowness of PCs using Intercept X Endpoint. They use minor performance PCs, which causes their PCs to become slow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The HyperDetect feature in GravityZone XDR is effective."
"Scalability is pretty easy. It's easy to increase the capacity. You can just add on licenses to the existing license, and the duration of the license can be adjusted. For example, you've already bought a license for a year, and you want to add some more users. We can just add on licenses for the remaining period so that the entire organization can have the same expiry date. That makes renewal easier."
"It provides an in-depth analysis and gives recommendations, along with a historical search capability."
"I find that the auto-response capability is most valuable."
"I would rate GravityZone XDR more than nine out of ten."
"The solution has an automatic patch management capability."
"I appreciate the overall utilization of AI to enhance security posture."
"Scalability is good."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"It is stable."
"The updates and a lot of the day-to-day fiddling that you would have to do with it, can all be done from the cloud so it's easy to manage, and very easy to administer."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"There are products that are technically stronger. However, this product has everything in one solution, which makes it a strong endpoint option."
 

Cons

"It's not very mature, and additional costs are involved."
"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products. Additionally, there might be a need to simplify the interface in the future."
"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."
"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Another area of improvement is CPU utilization. CPU utilization could be improved."
"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"To be a perfect product, the price would have to be a bit better."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"The problem is that if you have a lot of different components going on, each managed under a different umbrella, then you're going to be spending a lot of time hopping back and forth between the different components to see, "Well, I got hit here. What did my firewall see? I got hit in the firewall, the firewall says it allowed that attack in, did it land on anything to compromise any of my endpoints?""
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"It's not the price of the software itself that makes it expensive. It's because you have to buy a VM; you have to buy additional hardware. All those things make it slightly costlier."
"We are happy with the pricing across all Sophos products."
"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"The price of this solution is a little high compared to competitors because they do not have a proper pricing structure."
"It is a high-cost solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten."
"You can purchase a license for one to three years."
"The price of Sophos Intercept X is expensive. The license is paid on an annual basis. There are extra features that can be added depending on the endpoints. The solution is priced twice as much as the Comodo solution."
"The price of the solution is average compared to the market."
