Bitdefender GravityZone provides world class malware and threat protection in a powerful and easy to use package
- Once installed, Bitdefender [GravityZone] runs silently in the background with little to no need for user interaction.
- The cloud-based console provides for easy computer management and deployment.
- Bitdefender [GravityZone] is extremely flexible, with a policy-based system wherein different profiles can be created (i.e. a policy to deactivate the firewall, a policy to allow for admin control on a machine, etc.) and pushed out to individual computers.
- Computers can be grouped into different categories, with different policies automatically deployed to each category.
- Bitdefender [GravityZone] is relatively resource-light and runs well even on lower-end computers.
- An individual computer or server can be set up as an endpoint relay - wherein workstations can communicate directly with this relay vs. the Bitdefender [GravityZone] cloud. In theory, this would be ideal for offices with a slow internet connection, in practice, however, the relay connection is flaky and buggy.
- The initial install process, while easy, can take a while when compared to other antivirus solutions. In general, it takes anywhere from 5 - 10 min to install.
- Once installed, no settings can be changed directly on a computer, all changes need to be made via the [Bitdefender] GravityZone web page.
- The installer package itself is rather large when compared to competitors. The packages [are] around 600 - 700 MB.
- Support can be slow to respond at times.
- Small footprint with minimum resources required
- Very adept at stopping 0-Day Threats
- Scans are quick and efficient
- Works on Windows and Macs
- Centrally controlled, very easy to update policies
- Better reporting, more options for reports
- New cloud dashboard is harder to navigate than previous
- Cloud dashboard isn't very user friendly for new techs
- Protect against viruses
- Protect against ransomware
- Central management

Bitdefender GravityZone Experiences
- Users are protected without them having to manage the product themselves
- Being able to manage computers in our organization thru the cloud is especially helpful when we have users all across the country and South America
- Bitdefender uses less computer resources than many other virus protection products we've used in the past
- I do not like having to correspond by email. When I have an issue I do not have time to wait 6-8 hours for a reply. I want to do a chat or a phone call.
- I find their cloud dashboard a bit challenging to navigate. I can never find the option I need without searching thru every category.
- I do not like that it takes 48 hours for the cloud to update when there is an issue with a client computer when I am working on it remotely.
June 01, 2021
Easy, strong protection
- Cloud-based console
- EDR and EPP packed in one with simple use
- Detailed reports with ability to dig down
- Multi-tenant console if required
- Transparent pricing based on modules
- Dashboards leave much to be desired (shows you problem but can’t drill down from dashboard)
- UI can be somewhat confusing especially under multi-tenant mode
April 30, 2021
Bitdefender GravityZone--renewed again
- Antivirus/malware
- Encryption management
- Web filtering
- Patch management
- Customer service--they direct you to YouTube links and offer answers that are easy but not a good solution. (e.g., Delete old records instead of figuring out why multiple instances are showing up in the dashboard)
- Android/iOS devices can't be managed unless on a local network with on-premises solution
- More robust web filtering platform
- Antivirus
- Device Control
- Firewall Protection
- Website Security
- Easier vulnerability repairing.
