AMBARISH PATKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…
Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"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."
"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."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
"It provides a feature for scanning and analyzing endpoints, which is a value-add for our infrastructure. With the advancements in the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Sophos Intercept X analyzes an APT and the behavior of the endpoints. It then gives us a detailed dashboard with more information about the endpoints and their security and risk level. While deploying Sophos Intercept X, we identified a lot of vulnerability and risky endpoints that our previous solution didn't cover, which proved that this solution is the best."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos Intercept X is cloud management."
"The most valuable features of Intercept X are server lockdown, auto-remediation, and encryption monitoring."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The most valuable features are the anti-ransomware engine, deep learning, web filtering, and the cloud manageability."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
 

Cons

"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"Policy customization and deployment need a little bit of improvement. The push policies, the first line, and all those things."
"I would inquire why it is not sold directly to end users."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"I have not done it, but integrating it with authenticating the users on the Windows system looks a bit complicated to me. It could be because I don't understand it."
"Intercept X Endpoint is a very heavy solution that consumes a lot of RAM and should be made lighter."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Price-wise, we have a better licensing agreement with Bitdefender than we did with competing vendors."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"It is not that expensive. Compared to its competitors, it is well-priced and well-placed."
"Each endpoint device we purchased came with its own license."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"On a per-user basis, my company has to pay a certain amount of money."
"The cost of Sophos Intercept X is reasonable."
"The price of the product is okay, in my opinion. The tool's cost per user and per annum basis is around INR 700 to 800."
"You can pay monthly, but most of our customers choose annual subscriptions because they are less expensive."
"The pricing is actually quite reasonable."
"One can pay for the license annually, or at two and five year intervals."
"Its cost is good."
