"The setup was easy."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The installation is straightforward."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"Kaspersky Enterprise solution's combined protections have helped to block a lot of malware which would have caused a lot of interruptions in our operations."

"It has improved our performance and deployment."
"Some of the most valuable features are the security and the stability, which are great. There are some imperfections, but everything is fine. In general, I think it's one of the best solutions."
"It performs quite well as a firewall protection provider."
"Using dashboards, it is very easy to manage."
"One of the main features of this solution is the fast scanning capabilities."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."

"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."

"The solution could be more secure."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
