Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"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."
"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."
"The most valuable features are the reports."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"Kaspersky is viable with ADR."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."
 

Cons

"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"Kaspersky EDR lacks protection from recent ransomware."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"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 product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is less expensive than other solutions, such as CrowdStrike. We had a really good deal because it was their year-end and they were trying to do a lot of sales that week. We bought a three-year contract from them and the cost was approximately $17 per endpoint, per year. It is was a very good price. I have spoken to other people who have purchased CrowdStrike at approximately $60 per endpoint, per year. I have no complaints about the price of this solution."
"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."
"The pricing for Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is not that high. It's okay for its service, so I would download it on my personal computer and buy it for myself as a customer."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
