Room For Improvement

Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security needs improvements in usability, support, documentation, resource management, and feature integration.
Trend Micro ServerProtect requires better integration, enhanced features, improved deployment, and stronger endpoint protection to meet user needs.
The initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max.
Now, we have to do it via CLI, which even technical personnel struggle to understand.
The phishing feature report showed zero results, and the patch management component is one of the two main issues that need improvement.
They need to improve in this area by providing more documentation and custom scripts for bulk enterprise deployments.
 

Setup Cost

Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security offers competitive, flexible pricing with customizable features, though some report high renewal fee increases.
Trend Micro ServerProtect pricing is reasonable, based on features and components, offering good value with flexible licensing options.
 

Valuable Features

Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is praised for its ease, comprehensive features, and efficient enhancement of security infrastructure.
Trend Micro ServerProtect offers advanced security features, excellent threat detection, cloud management, ease of use, and flexible licensing.
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 best feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is that it is lightweight.
From my reseller perspective, the best features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security that stand out are the sandboxing and reporting capabilities.
From my reseller and consultant perspective, the most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided.

Featured Reviews

Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Offers a single console to control all applications and URL filtering
I am satisfied with the malware detection capabilities of the solution. At our company, using the product we haven't found any incidents or threats that couldn't be easily resolved. Most of the customers of Trend Micro ServerProtect in our organization belong to the Healthcare industry. I have witnessed smooth integrations with Trend Micro ServerProtect. I haven't yet noticed any AI capabilities in the product. I would recommend others to adopt Trend Micro ServerProtect as it can be easily installed and managed. The product assists in administration. The solution is a perfect fit for the SMB segment. I would rate Trend Micro ServerProtect an eight out of ten.
