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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My client feels protected by it, which is important to me."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"The monitoring dashboards are absolutely amazing, providing a lot of fine details about all activities."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"Overall, I rate GravityZone ten out of ten for its functionality and support."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."
"The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
 

Cons

"From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like."
"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."
"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"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 solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"Its subscription is yearly."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"It is relatively cheap."
