Featured Reviews

Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Systems Engineer at Ministry of Awqaf & Islamic Affairs
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
Senior Content Strategist at PeerSpot
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

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use."
"GravityZone is very light on PCs and offers excellent threat detection capabilities, notably through its anti-malware and anti-virus features."
"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."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"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."
"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."
"It allows us to have better knowledge of the way people use the tool and how we can improve their workflows."
"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"It is a stable solution."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
 

Cons

"While GravityZone is comprehensive, it can sometimes prevent the execution of local-made programs, resulting in false alarms."
"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability."
"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."
"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."
"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
"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."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."
"Notifications are lacking."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its subscription is yearly."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"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."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."
"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
