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.

Pros

"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"Bitdefender Total Security offers a wide range of valuable features that enhance its usability and effectiveness."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
 

Cons

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"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."
"The license is yearly."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"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 quite reasonable. I don't find it 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."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
