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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature is the IDS."
"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 fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."
"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."
"The product offers an opportunity to monitor the things happening in our network. It also has a comprehensive dashboard."
"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."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"Easy to scale, stable solution for workload and server security and protection. It's easy to set up and has a good ransomware protection feature."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
"Their support is good. They are responsive, which is nice."
"The solution is quite secure."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"The VPN is the most prized characteristic of Trend Micro Deep Security, which in addition addresses all zero-day vulnerabilities. This allows us to confidently transfer our system physically, as it presents to the external world, whether it be an intruder or a hacker, that our system is completely secure without any weak spots. Even if the latest security patches have not been installed or updated, the software virtually covers them for you."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
 

Cons

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"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."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"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."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"We want to see improved authentication."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"The solution could use more integration."
"Trend Micro can interact with their consultant to ensure that we receive constant training to understand their platform and how to improve it."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The problem with this solution is that if you go on large sites you have to have an external database, which would increase the cost."
"Another issue is if I want to suggest this solution to a customer, we won't get the pricing immediately, which is a major problem."
"The workloads must be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The general basic price is roughly $1.20 for a license with Bitdefender."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"It has very flexible licensing costs, and it's modular-based."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"I rate the price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is a high price. It is a very costly tool...There are no additional payments to be made other than the normal price of the tool."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"If you need an additional 10 or 20 licenses, you will need to pay additional fees."
