BitdefenderBitdefender GravityZone is a SysAdmin's Dream Come True2018-08-22T20:57:27.066ZWe use Bitdefender on all workstations and servers. It solves our need to protect our systems from malware and from malware-infected sites. It scans any device connected to the computer when inserted, so that USB drives, DVD drives, and other external sources can't contaminate the computer. Bitdefender is an easy-to-install, easy to maintain, and easy to update anti-malware solution--no matter how large or how small your system footprint is. The GravityZone product is cloud-based, which means that I can get a handle on installations, infections, and settings no matter where I am or what time of day it is. The cloud-based solution is somewhat different than the on-premise version, but for budget-minded companies, the cloud version (GravityZone) works very well.,Bitdefender automatically updates without any user intervention. Updates happen in the background and a reboot is not required--at least in two years it hasn't been.
I schedule Bitdefender to perform full scans on systems every Friday. I've never had a user complain about a system that is slow because of the full scan.
I like that we can manage Bitdefender actions and features from the website. For example, I can place systems in different groups or profiles to enable or disable different features.
I also like that Bitdefender has its own built-in firewall. It's very restrictive and logs every action against it.,I wish we could access logs from the cloud-based product. Not just in a viewable sense but from a download so that we can scrape them for interesting strings.
Bitdefender needs to make it easier to export data from the web interface. As it stands now, it's a time-consuming copy and paste activity.
I would like for there to a notification service when someone encounters malware. For example, an email to our IT team when someone's Bitdefender quarantines a file.,10,The ROI for Bitdefender is hard to quantify except that it requires very little maintenance time from our staff.
We've spent no time troubleshooting user complaints or issues from users, so it has been a big time-saver over our previously used anti-malware software.
Bitdefender's customer service is usually pretty good and also very responsive, so I don't have to wait by the phone or to keep checking email to resolve a problem--although our issues have been mostly informational and not a problem with functionality.,AVG AntiVirus Business Edition, McAfee Endpoint Security and Avast Business Antivirus,Helix ALM (formerly TestTrack), Microsoft Office 365, Veeam Backup & Replication,No,10,No,I had an issue, described elsewhere in this review that I couldn't export reports from GravityZone to an Excel spreadsheet. The very persistent support person would not stop helping me until the problem was resolved. I couldn't export to Excel but I could use another method of copy/paste to get the info I needed into Excel. The feature just doesn't exist, but she helped me figure out a solution. Few, if any, support people would do that. She wouldn't give up on it and figured out a way for me to get what I needed.

I am not overly fond of having to "tune" UAC during the deployment process nor am I fond of the fact that you cannot have multiple licenses with different expiration of the same type of client. That being said Bitdefender is one of the best products on the market and the fact that their engine is licensed to about a dozen other popular AV products speaks volumes. Randsomware detection and prevention seems to be second to none and the overall management of the product is mature and intuitive unlike some if their primary competitors. Overall I am very satisfied and would highly recommend to anyone.,Randomware detection and prevention
Centralized and simply policy based management with AD integration
Centralized scanning offloads much of the processing needed and frees the client to be used for its intended purpose.,You cannot run multiple licenses for any given client type. An example would be if I purchase a group of clients and need to add more licensing my only option is to prorate into the existing, I cannot run a separate license file with a separate expirations date. This can pose an issue if trying to divide licensing for budgetary purposes or simple expansion.
While the deployment process was smooth overall for us UAC does need to be tweaked for it to be successful. This really shouldn't be necessary.
During the sales process it was stressed that Bitdefender would automatically remove our existing AV product making deployment extremely simple, this however turned out to not be the case and our existing AV had to be removed by other means.,9,Being in education our previous AV solution was provided free of charge until this year so the ROI factor for us is a negative in terms of money. I will have to say that Bitdefender was really good a working with us to achieve a reasonable price point and actually came in cheaper than some of the lesser alternatives out there.,ESET Endpoint Security, Avast Business Antivirus and Kaspersky Endpoint Security,Goverlan ReachJohn HallenbergerBitDefender Gravityzone2018-09-05T18:58:09.240ZBitdefender is being used across the entire organization to protect against virus', malware, and other attacks. The "cloud" based management helps us with users who live and operate remotely. I utilize the reports and alerting features to keep my up to date when incidents happen inside our system. Bitdefender is one part of our security strategy and fits in nicely.,Lightweight - the memory footprint is low, allowing us to use this on older machines. The processes do not hog the CPU.
Simple management - the bells and whistles are streamlined well here.
Detection - good reviews elsewhere for picking up what it needs to.,Improved reporting - the reporting date ranges aren't intuitive.
Better alert options - we can get emails, but text messages and other methods for alert would be nice.,10,We were using Kaspersky that came with Kaseya management. While it is hard to quantify the ROI in this scenario, I'm convinced we are saving money from not only the licensing cost, but the cost to deal with issues that Kaspersky may not have addressed appropriately.,Sophos Endpoint ProtectionRyan M KimbrelBitdefender GravityZone Does the Job2018-11-01T18:45:15.781ZBitdefender GravityZone is being used to manage and protect Mac and Windows clients as well as Mac and Windows servers.,Bitdefender GravityZone is easy to deploy and manage. We spend less system administration time.
Bitdefender GravityZone does an excellent job of reporting issues and helps isolate systems that are affected.,Bitdefender GravityZone has had issues with different administrative users. Could be better at assigning similar roles.,10,Bitdefender GravityZone has reduced our administrative time and cost as it pertains to security tools for clients.,,Microsoft Office 365, FileMaker ProVerified User
