Gives a good snapshot of what's going on
The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake. While I can go into it and run the scan for the all the information, I must enter each thing individually to see what I need. I can't print or email a report to somebody in a different environment or to any of my clients for the purpose of advising how they must proceed. All I can do is go into and look at it. It would be nice to able to take the report and determine what must be focused on most critically, as opposed to merely being given a tremendous amount of information. This should be addressed. The solution should also do a better job of informing a person of what happened. The son of one of my clients, who has the solution installed in his house, was blocked from playing a certain game. While the solution only informed the person that it was blocked, it did not state what it had blocked. With another client who was in the middle of playing a game in his office, the solution blocked this but provided no telemetry whatsoever. I had to search in an attempt to see what was being blocked. Turning the solution off, however, enabled the game to work perfectly. It was blocking it for some reason, but I had no clue why it was doing so. The solution should be providing reports of everything, not just specific incidents. The solution has many features, but does not inform one of what was actually done, leaving a person in the dark when it comes to things that are not apparent. For specific threats, one need simply login to know what is transpiring. When there was a need to involve support, I would be instructed to download a certain software for gathering information. But, this is not how things should be. Support should be providing the information it possesses of what transpired.

Easy to implement, good integrations, and helpful technical support services
It is mainly an antivirus product for both desktops as well as servers. It has additional modules which can be enabled in fast manner. It uses the same agent and additional modules like FIM, Filing Integrity Management and ELP services.  The product is easy to implement and easy to integrate with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"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."
"When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."
"The cloud console is good and the tool is effective in protection."
"It has a perfect SaaS which integrates with AWS, offering flexibility to deploy quickly and easily in the cloud."
"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."
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution has a low footprint and does not have a lot of impact on the host."
"It's easy to use and the interface is simple."
"It provides the type of data and availability that we need to have. We don't have to worry about intrusions."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is quite good. It always has new features which customers can use for free, so I can't say that something is missing in the solution, though one area for improvement is that the cloud version of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security still can't connect to a central SIEM. The on-premises version has that capability, but the cloud version doesn't."
"Potential areas for improvement could be more accessible and immediate support for critical situations, especially considering the regulatory challenges in healthcare."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"The price could be reduced."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"The updates for legacy systems are not rolled out frequently."
"The working interface and the reports for non-technical people could use improvement. They are a bit scary."
 

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 price is fair."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of our customers complain about the cost of this solution."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"Our company chose to procure this product via AWS Marketplace due to regulatory requirements. We mostly use it in the AWS GovCloud."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
