Featured Reviews

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.
Davina Becker - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"GravityZone is very light on PCs and offers excellent threat detection capabilities, notably through its anti-malware and anti-virus features."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"My client feels protected by it, which is important to me."
"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 solution is very good at scanning."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"It comprehensively finds and removes malicious software."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
 

Cons

"It is more than adequate, just needing to keep up with industry changes."
"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."
"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs."
"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
"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."
"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."
"My clients have frequently encountered some tech support scams where when you go to a particular website, it throws up a fake warning to you and states that you need to call this number."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"I really hate the automatic rebuilding without even asking. It's just an annoyance that they should at least ask me, like a month before they bill me."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
