Enhances my daily operation, protects me from online threats and doesn't slow down my system
I haven't used any of the extra add-on modules, even though they have VPN and things like that. But, I really like the warnings I get when I visit low-rated websites. This protects me because the ratings let me know those sites aren't safe, which was something I was missing in my previous antivirus solutions. I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background. Bitdefender has features like a password manager, parental controls, and a VPN – even though I don't use them. It seems like Bitdefender Total Security has everything.

Protected client experience with good security and a straightforward setup
One of my clients is using GravityZone Business Security, although I do not use it personally. I help manage it for them I can't provide specifics. My client feels protected by it, which is important to me. From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like. The ROI is not good…

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 stable"
"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."
"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."
"My client feels protected by it, which is important to me."
"GravityZone provides information about over-the-air data flow, standalone application security, and the infrastructure architecture required to meet the standalone security requirements of the complete SaaS infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use."
"The product provides endpoint visibility and portal updates, which are very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."
"The solution is the cheapest in the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad."
"If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."
"The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better."
"Technical support could always be improved."
"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions."
"From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
"The product operates on a yearly licensing basis, with options for multi-year licenses available at discounted rates."
"The product is not expensive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."
"Its subscription is yearly."
"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."
"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."
"We have to purchase licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. We started out with approximately 150 licenses and now we have over 1,000. You can purchase licenses annually or every three years."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."
"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."
"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."
