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

"It enhances our cybersecurity measures, especially beneficial for entrepreneurs."
"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."
"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"The solution provides dashboard control, so we can centrally monitor the entire status of our organization."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
 

Cons

"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"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."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"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 DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"There are two main areas that require improvement. One is the size of the packages. Although I'll admit manageability is good, if I want to deploy, let's say just the antivirus or just the firewall, each of those package sizes are quite large. They are sometimes as big as 200MB or 250MB. When I have operations in remote areas where connectivity is always poor, it's difficult. To deploy such a package in a remote location over the internet or something like that is always challenging."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not expensive."
"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."
"It falls in the middle range in terms of pricing—it's neither very cheap nor overly expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"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."
