Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieving nearly complete protection with reliable configuration management and effective technical support
The most valuable features of GravityZone Business Security are its anti-malware and anti-virus capabilities. The firewall policies are considered very powerful, and it prevents many malicious issues. The solution has its own definitions for viruses or malware, providing timely detection updates. Additionally, their technical support is very effective, with knowledgeable engineers handling cases efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"GravityZone is very light on PCs and offers excellent threat detection capabilities, notably through its anti-malware and anti-virus features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"The solution is the cheapest in the market."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
"I like that the tool is a bit simple to use. In terms of handling phishing and rate mitigation, it is quite good. The product is stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The solution is scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest. The initial setup is straightforward. I have seen a return on investment."
 

Cons

"It is hard to manage."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"Another observation was that we have disabled all the external media via GravityZone Business Security policies, but when connecting a device such as a phone, it was getting detected, and users were able to read and write files."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions."
"Technical support could always be improved."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."
"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"Its subscription is yearly."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"We have to purchase licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. We started out with approximately 150 licenses and now we have over 1,000. You can purchase licenses annually or every three years."
