Sooraj Makkancherrry - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"​Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is efficient and lightweight. We have to do security audits every year and we saw how secure Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was, even the plan testers had difficulties taking control of a computer when it was protected. The solution was always rejecting the attacks of the test hackers, it has very good protection."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"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."
"The best part is the risk management; it gives me real relief, and an overall idea of what all my systems are exposed to, where my weaknesses lie, and how I can address them—whether it's misconfigurations, user behavior creating the risk, or the OS software that isn't getting patched, or critical CVs that aren't getting mitigated."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."
"GravityZone provides information about over-the-air data flow, standalone application security, and the infrastructure architecture required to meet the standalone security requirements of the complete SaaS infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"​Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."
"From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like."
"The main issue with Bitdefender is the UI and console. It's not designed with current standards; it's not HTML5 and doesn't work well for navigation, making it a little clunky."
"It is more than adequate, just needing to keep up with industry changes."
"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."
"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."
"If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."
