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 dashboard and granular control features are great."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The solution scales well."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"Bitdefender Total Security must expand its global presence, particularly in establishing legal offices in various countries, including Saudi Arabia."
"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"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."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
