Delivers lightweight protection while facing challenges with technical aspects

I have been working with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security for quite a long time, but recently, I do not appreciate their changes, especially on the technical side. They moved some portions to remote GUI-based interfaces. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult. There is a power user function where you can stop it temporarily for installing applications. Previously, we had the option to click on the power user button and enter the password to allow stopping that particular function. Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand. Currently, everything is working fine except for the technical aspects we can control. If they can revert to the old system, that would be much better. When we raise this issue with Bitdefender, they cite security reasons for the change. However, while Cisco is moving away from CLI to GUI, Bitdefender is moving backward. Normal users cannot handle these CLI operations effectively.

Effective threat predictions, simple to deploy, and light on resources

Malwarebytes's initial setup is simple. It is easy to deploy and configure the policies and the configuration. I deployed Malwarebytes for one customer and I did it in under two days. They had approximately 50 users, it took approximately an hour. The steps I took for the implementation were downloading the Malwarebytes management console from the site, installing it, then running the discovery tool, scanning my network, and checking all of the PCs on my network. It's already pre-configured, you don't need to configure anything. The only configuration that I did on the administration console was some of the exclusion from the scan. This is the only rule that I have created. I rate the initial setup of Malwarebytes a ten 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

"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."

"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."

"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."

"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."

"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."

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

"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"I never have to look at it or do anything with it, and then my system just stays clean."

"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."

"The platform is straightforward to install."

"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."

"Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience."

"The pricing of the product is very good."

"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."

"It is a stable solution."

More Malwarebytes Teams pros

Cons

"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."

"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."

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

"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."

"The solution must be more user-friendly."

"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."

"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."

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

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."

"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."

"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."

"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."

"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."

"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."

"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility."

"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."

More Malwarebytes Teams cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."

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

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"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 license is yearly."

"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."

"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"Its licensing is annual. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"I would say that it's affordable. It costs much less than Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, or anything of that nature. But, at the same time, you are getting what you pay for. So I would say it's one of the best when you're comparing traditional NextGen AVs like Webroot that aren't the best in the bunch."

"Its cost is around $60 a machine. The cost of the total solution for 250 people is about $8,500 a year. If we add EDR to it, it will bring that cost up to about $15,000. The cost for Carbon Black is about $25,000, which is $10,000 more, but you get all AI functions with it."

"The platform pricing is competitive with other antivirus products."

"It is really expensive. We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options. We're paying about $3,300 per year for these licenses. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"It is expensive."

"The licensing is per seat, with clients being a little less expensive than servers. If we need more licenses, we can accomplish that within a day. As Malwarebytes adds new features to their product, such as DNS filtering and a patching module, they want to charge us more even though we're a premium user, which isn't ideal."

"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
