Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

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

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"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."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"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."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."
"The product is stable"
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
 

Cons

"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"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."
"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."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"The stability could be improved."
"The technical support services need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is yearly."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"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."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"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."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"The product is not expensive."
"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."
