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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

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 efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"GravityZone is very light on PCs and offers excellent threat detection capabilities, notably through its anti-malware and anti-virus features."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
"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."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"Performance is very good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
 

Cons

"Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."
"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."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
