Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints
The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.

Enhances my daily operation, protects me from online threats and doesn't slow down my system
I haven't used any of the extra add-on modules, even though they have VPN and things like that. But, I really like the warnings I get when I visit low-rated websites. This protects me because the ratings let me know those sites aren't safe, which was something I was missing in my previous antivirus solutions. I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background. Bitdefender has features like a password manager, parental controls, and a VPN – even though I don't use them. It seems like Bitdefender Total Security has everything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"The product is stable"
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"The stability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The price is fair."
"The license is yearly."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"The product operates on a yearly licensing basis, with options for multi-year licenses available at discounted rates."
"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."
