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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."

"The most valuable feature is the IDS."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

Cons

"The initial setup should be made easier."

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

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

"The phishing feature report showed zero results, and the patch management component is one of the two main issues that need improvement."

"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."

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

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

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big. What I mean is 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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"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."

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

"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."

"The price is fair."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The price is comparable."

"The product has average pricing."
