"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."
"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."
"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."
"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"The most valuable feature is Endpoint's management."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."

Cons

"The mobile version needs improvement."
