Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"After deploying Bitdefender, it provides detailed logs about any threats encountered and quarantines the threat. It synchronizes this information, and you can see which PC or device faced the threat when you log into the console."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
