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.

Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"They release timely updates and have efficient prediction features for threat detection."
"Support in Trend Micro Deep Security is very good. They have very professional engineers, and they often respond effectively. We are satisfied."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the virtual path function, which is the reason we chose to implement it."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
 

Cons

"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."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"The workloads must be better."
"The cost is very high."
"Sometimes, the product is not very stable, but it is something that depends on the infrastructure in which the tool is used."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs can vary."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"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 pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"While the pricing was on the higher side, the manageability and comprehensive alerts provided by the product justified the cost."
