AMBARISH PATKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…
Khandokar Rabbi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for endpoint security, ransomware protection, virus protection, and server security
Intercept X Endpoint is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Previously, we had two ransomware attacks when we were using Kaspersky as an endpoint security. We didn't face any ransomware attacks after using Intercept X Endpoint for endpoint security. Intercept X Endpoint has simplified our malware detection. Since we have already implemented the policies in the cloud, all the malware is automatically detected. The solution also detects and removes new malware that can also come from the cloud AI engine. Integrating Intercept X Endpoint with our current security infrastructure was very easy. In my opinion, Sophos is a better solution because we are using Sophos endpoint security and network security. These two things sync with each other and monitor the packets and network traffic. No other vendor has simultaneous devices to check everything. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The initial setup is easy."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"Intercept X Endpoint has been stable, and I appreciate the centralized management and the reporting feature."
"We have found the pricing to be reasonable."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The product is user-friendly."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"The most valuable feature is the behavioral, non-signature-based threat detection."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"There is some issue with the reporting and refreshing information on resources that have been eliminated."
"The tool should be made compatible with Linux and Microsoft operating systems."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"The endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology has room for improvement because the information that it gives us to resolve our problems is poor nowadays."
"It would be a value-add if they can include integration with other technologies or solutions, like Fortinet, Blue Coat, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is per license per endpoint. The price is different for everyone, but we find the price is cheap for us."
"It has a suitable price for every company and organization."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Licensing is done on a yearly basis and it's workstation-based."
"The solution is affordable."
"As I am on a different model, my clients pay me on a monthly basis."
"There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment."
"The solution is not expensive but there are cheaper options in the market. In terms of competitiveness, the price is reasonable with no other additional costs besides the licensing fees."
"I find the pricing to be a little bit expensive, although it is acceptable, for now."
"The product is moderately priced."
"I am not sure about the cost. I would guess it to be between $50 to $60 per license. This would be the cost of the overall subscription. There is no additional fee."
"The pricing is average for software like this, but you can purchase additional services if you wish."
"Licensing is based on the number of users. They give a discount for editors who are considered as important members. From what I know, Sophos products are not expensive. If you have a license extension, you just need to contact the editor or partner to change the mode of licensing or extend the license to cover more people."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"I would rate the price 7 out of 10, where 1 is most expensive and 10 is cheapest. Also, a little reduction in price can be a great move for Intercept X Endpoint."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
