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

"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"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."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"Trellix Security Endpoint can promptly isolate any host machines directly from the console. If alerts are received and isolation is necessary, it can be accomplished through the console. The console itself holds significant value, accessible through a browser and allowing remote actions via cloud login."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are reporting from the ePO console and the advanced threat protection (ATP)."
"It's easy to use."
 

Cons

"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"The initial setup should be made easier."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"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 GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"The product is expensive."
