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.

A stable solution that is used for endpoint security and to protect computers from malware
We are using the latest version of SonicWall Capture Client. Fortinet is ahead of SonicWall. The range of appliances, equipment, availability in my country with the distributors, and the overall ecosystem of Fortinet is way better than SonicWall. My advice to others looking into using SonicWall Capture Client is to keep giving feedback to the companies regarding whatever improvements should be made. Overall, I rate SonicWall Capture Client 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

"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."
"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"Based on my experience, I rate Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security a nine out of ten."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The initial setup should be made easier."
"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 vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."
"They should improve their user interface."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"The implementation is not easy."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"The product is very expensive."
