Pros

"The product is worth the investment."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."

"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"It was easy to set up."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."

"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
