Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"The installation is straightforward."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"It was easy to set up."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"The stability must be improved."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have very good pricing for the solution, which is one of the reasons why I am not switching to other products. I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is cheaper than Kaspersky. There are no additional costs apart from licensing ones."
"We take the subscription. Only we're taking that GravityZone and protection of the environment and the system. We didn't subscribe to the detection response."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
