Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints

The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.

Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option

Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"The solution is very scalable."

"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."

"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."

"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."

"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."

"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."

"The detection is very effective."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"CrowdStrike is a great solution."

"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."

"The stability is very good."

"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

Cons

"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."

"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."

"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."

"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."

"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."

"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."

"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."

"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."

"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."

"The licensing costs can vary."

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."

"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive."

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."

"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."

"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
