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.

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 tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"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."
"The product is stable"
"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."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
 

Cons

"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The price of this product is good."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
