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.

Pros

"I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background."
"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."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"The product is stable"
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"The product's firewall protection and anti-theft features are valuable."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"The solution is a reliable and mature product. Its reporting function is robust, and the user interface is easy to use. End users can create customized reports with detailed reporting for any computer and export them in PDF or other formats. This reporting capability is very robust."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"When it comes to areas for enhancement, I would suggest focusing on advanced threat detection to address evolving malware."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"If Bitdefender Total Security could reduce the processing power."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"The resolution time should be faster."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"If there's a possibility for remote assistance or investigation support in the future, it would be beneficial. Currently, we use another remote software for such purposes. If this feature could be included in the next version, that would be an improvement. The feature is called Remote Administration. I'm somewhat satisfied, but there's an issue I recently encountered. When attempting to scan a suspected host machine, Symantec Endpoint Security did not provide any alerts. However, when we installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan, it detected a threat that wasn't identified by Symantec. We raised this concern with the team for resolution, and the investigation is still ongoing."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
 

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 tool's pricing is high compared to other products."
"The pricing is quite reasonable. I don't find it expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
"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."
"Pricing is fair."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"No comment."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"The pricing is more or less the same as the other tools in the market."
