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…

Automatic update feature could be better and multi-layered protection capability needs enhancement
The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective. It also provides web threat protection by blocking unwanted websites. It provides multi-layered protection. Although it could be more efficient, it is sufficient for regular purposes. I would not recommend it based on my experience. I rate it a three 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

"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."
"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."
"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a very good solution for endpoint protection."
"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."
"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."
 

Cons

"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."
"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."
"While the product provides a good level of protection, we need better support, especially in terms of being kept informed about new threats and specific configurations needed."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"There are different packages available that vary in terms of licensing fees."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is affordable."
"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."
"The product’s price is flexible."
"I find Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud more accessible in terms of pricing."
"The platform is expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The product is averagely priced."
"We had to pay an annual licensing fee for KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud."
