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.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 a good standard security tool."
"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."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"The solution has been quite stable."
"I like how it protects the network and all the endpoints."
"Center Management"
"When comparing Kaspersky Endpoint Security to any other solution, Our customers like mostly the reliability, and the ability to defend against viruses, worms, and attacks. It is easy to use and very light on the end-user machine's resources."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The signature update is done securely."
"Easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate."
"There is excellent integration with the app directory."
 

Cons

"The initial setup should be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"It would be nice if it was less expensive."
"This solution used a lot of memory and GPU; it would be nice if this could be reduced."
"It would be good if Kaspersky could lower the solution's price so people could afford to buy the licenses."
"It is not very good for the performance of the system, and especially with older devices, it has a noticeable impact."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
"We would like to know where attacks are coming from."
"Kaspersky needs to improve its security techniques as it has not been in Gartner records for the last two years."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of this solution is affordable and there is only a standard license required."
"It is a cost-effective product."
"We have a yearly license, and the pricing is fine."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"We have an annual license and there is a fee per device used. The price is fair compared to the latest EDR solution."
