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.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."

"The dashboard and granular control features are great."

"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."

"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."

"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."

"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."

"It is quite stable. It handles updates and patches nicely."

"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."

More Bitdefender Total Security pros

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

Cons

"The solution could improve the way they manage it."

"The technical support services need improvement."

"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."

"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."

"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."

"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."

"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."

"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."

More Bitdefender Total Security cons

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"They should improve their user interface."

"The implementation is not easy."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."

"The product is not expensive."

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."

"The product operates on a yearly licensing basis, with options for multi-year licenses available at discounted rates."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"The product is very expensive."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
