Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is a good standard security tool."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"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."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability could be better."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big. What I mean is the initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs can vary."
"The license is yearly."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"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."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
