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.

Muhammed Abdul Gafoor - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an easy initial setup process, but there could be more integration options
The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a seven or eight out of ten. We have LPR procurement. The deployment involves installing the product and adding a license. It takes three to four days to complete and requires a team of less than ten people to execute the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"GravityZone Business Security is an important part of our security stack."
"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 most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"Overall, I rate GravityZone ten out of ten for its functionality and support."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."
More GravityZone Business Security pros
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
 

Cons

"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."
"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"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."
"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 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."
"Technical support could always be improved."
"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."
More GravityZone Business Security cons
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay approximately $80,000 for a three-year subscription."
"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 pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
"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."
"Its subscription is yearly."
More GravityZone Business Security pricing and cost advice
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
