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 most valuable feature is the IDS."
"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."
"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."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"It is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"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."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
 

Cons

"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"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."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"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."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"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."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"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."
"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."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"The tool is affordable"
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
