https://odysee.com/@Shadowra:f/Checkpoint-Harmony-Endpoint-Security-vs-Bitdefender-GravityZone-with-HyperDetect---Comparative:5

Today we're comparing the Enterprise version of CheckPoint with Bitdefender GravityZone. HyperDetect has been added.
Unlike the previous test, the 2 antiviruses are default.
Let's see how they perform.



The 2 antivirus products performed well on the Web.
On the pack, however, things were quite different.
CheckPoint came out with a heavily infected machine. Numerous PowerShell scripts were running in the background, disrupting the system.
What's more, at the end, KVRT notes a memory infection.
Bitdefender, on the other hand, cleaned up its act by blocking several traps that I set for it.
Only one Trojan remains at the end, which doesn't seem to be active.

Thanks for sharing this comparative review. It's interesting to see how CheckPoint and Bitdefender perform under different conditions. Bitdefender seems to have a slight edge in this test, especially in handling traps and minimizing active threats.

As far as I know, Checkpoint uses Kaspersky virus engine; I bet K can do better.

Thank you for the test

Harmony use Soshos engine now

This explains everything.

@Shadowra I haven't watched the full video yet, plan to, but can you comment on sense of "heaviness" /or lightness using each. And in US, BD Gravity Zone is a minimum of 3 licenses at $81.19. Is BDGZ available anywhere for 1 license?

Ofc it uses K. That's why KVRT noted a memory infection which checkpoint didn't.

You mean it does not use K; looks more in line with not detecting such a memory infection.
In addition, @Shadowra stated it is using Sophos engine!

Thanks for the test. The missed sample is a typical ACR downloader and injector module which is now detected by BD. Probably the download link for its next stage was down when u executed it. its c2 and few malware samples blacklisted by me about a month ago on VT.

It's true that I'll have to talk about the system impact, I'll make a note of it on my next summaries
To give you a quick answer:

Harmony is light on the system but it does slow down page connections as it analyses them in detail and downloads.
Bitdefender has a big impact on the system, but I feel it's more of an impact when you're using it. On the other hand, it is greedy when scanning.

For the price for 1 PC, I don't think it exists. I see it a lot with 3 or 5 PCs.

@Shadowra for home PC setup (2 Laptop, Desktop, mobiles), is Bitdefender Total Security good enough for protection or a solution like gravity zone is recommended?

ChatGPT "thinks" you can get BD Gravity Zone for 1 pc at several distributors / resellers, but I haven't verified, yet...

Hello,

New malicious software was found in the attached file. Its detection will be included in the next update.

You can stay with Total Security, which is more than enough.

Ooooo. Another test video and results. Gotta switch AV yet again.

LOL

No!

Release the program uninstaller!

This blatant act of "security shaming" is worthy of a celebratory "HaHa!"

Security software, is just like underwear - it gets dirty and, ideally, should be changed.

A loin cloth that is not changed daily is a hazard zone. Same principle applies to security software.
