Bitdefender GravityZone EDR Reviews

We use the solution to protect our servers, users, clients, desktops, mobiles, laptops, etc.

I just love the whole product altogether. Firstly, we know Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a market leader in security, and that gives us confidence. The second thing is that it's very, very easy to manage. The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible. You can do on-prem systems and on-prem relays. You can also have systems in the cloud.

The solution gives us a very, very quick modification. If I want to change how a whole bunch of client machines are set up, I can do that, and I know it's reliably going to get to it.

We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system. I don't like users using password management systems in their browsers. I would like to see a separate password management system. I would also possibly like to see a VPN system in the solution.

I have been using Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for ten years.

We are very, very, very impressed with the solution's stability. Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a stable product. So far, we haven't experienced any kind of memory leak or anything that takes up too much processing power. The product is very efficient.

Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is a scalable solution. We have around 250 users using the solution in our organization. We may roll Bitdefender GravityZone EDR out as a solution to our global setups.

The solution's technical support team has been very, very helpful.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

We used an in-house staff person to implement the solution. The person who did that setup for us took about a week to get it all working up in the right way.

Once the design is put into place, you need one person to set up the solution. Once it's set up, it's really straightforward to manage.

For an antivirus product, the return on investment is the protection. I would say we're getting a 100% return on investment with Bitdefender GravityZone EDR.

We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution.

I am using the latest version of Bitdefender GravityZone EDR.

We compared Bitdefender GravityZone EDR against more expensive systems, and it proved to be better. We did not base our decision just on price. We based it on a number of criteria like performance, manageability, and flexibility in the way it can be deployed.

Users can take full advantage of the test setup in a small environment. They should get to know the product before dismissing it, and they should compare it to other systems. Everything you get from the solution is superb.

Overall, I rate Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a nine out of ten.

I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for security purposes. 

What we appreciate is that Microsoft Defender is positioned as an intermediary. However, one area where we're considering a different approach is in terms of the insurance it provides. We have mobile device management in place, but we encounter challenges when adding licenses to desktops without active users. Some of our machines remain idle, running certain jobs with Bitdefender protection. However, I face a dilemma when it comes to applying Microsoft Defender to these machines because there's no user logging in with a 365 license to enable Defender.    

I believe it would be better if Microsoft Defender offered features similar to what it does. I appreciate how Defender integrates with Exchange, providing advanced threat protection. In comparison, Bitdefender primarily focuses on endpoint security, serving as a basic line of defense. There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern.

I have been using Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the past six years.

It is stable. 

I believe it's adequate. However, I haven't had the chance to use it in larger deployments, so I can't provide a comprehensive comparison.

I used multiple solutions before moving on to Bitdefender. When I was with MSPs, we used to conduct an annual review to determine the most effective antivirus solution. We would then promote and deploy the chosen antivirus. Upon joining S2S, we worked with Bitdefender, as it was highly ranked at that time.

It is very simple to install and takes only five days. Managing it is quite straightforward. The portal makes it easy to apply policies immediately. In terms of maintenance, a single person is sufficient.

There are some differences. It's more cost-effective, yet it provides the same functionalities as Defender. That's why I've been exploring the comparisons. We pay for it annually, and it's a per-seat payment.

The solution is sufficient if you only need to safeguard your endpoints. It's suitable for that. I would certainly suggest this product to others.

Overall, I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

We use the solution to identify the source of the threat in case of a malware attack.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to investigate the security incident, including the sequence of events and its initial trigger point.

The solution's technical support in terms of communication could be provided in the Hebrew language. 

We have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable. It encountered downtime issues a while back but hasn't affected the systems.

The solution is scalable for small and medium businesses.

The solution's customer services are good. Although, the customers want them to provide support in the Hebrew language in terms of communication.

Positive

The solution is easy to set up. We have to copy the active directories and follow a few steps. It takes a maximum of 15 minutes to complete.

The solution's pricing is average.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use it on a daily basis. I use it primarily not only for the antivirus portion of it, but I also use the full EDR suite of it, which is the firewall maintenance and content control. Basically, I use it for a lot of content control in the firewall.

We were previously using another solution instead of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra. Back then, we had some servers that we were using as worldwide servers for what we do, and we were unable to go in there and block those worldwide servers, regardless of whether they were on our network or at home or wherever they were by using the EDR feature to prevent them from accessing old software because if you allow the user access to the whole software, then they're going to go back to what they know instead of picking up the new stuff. That was one of the main feature sets that we took away from the EDR software, which was content control and filtering.

The reporting function allows you to put block sites on blocked content sites, after which you can go and see what was blocked. It tells you what was blocked, why it was blocked, and how you can fix it. So, like, what we do is we actually block all the streaming services, such as certain YouTube labels and certain videos like Disney Plus, which involves a lot of content control. So we can see what stuff is embedded, open it up, see what got blocked because of an embedded video, and then open that video backup to allow them to see it. It also gets you right to where you need to go and how to fix it to allow users to work.

Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra does have a ransomware remediation, and that's probably one of the areas where they don't highlight using it, especially in comparison to BullWall. Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does. It's a little more delayed.

Ransomware control needs to be improved. It's just a feature that needs to be updated and expanded upon. A functionality that I would like to see in the solution is user tracking since you already got all the reporting in there, tell me what sites were blocked, and they should tell me what sites were visited and how often they visit those sites. That would make it a great reporting tool. So, instead of going out and having everything go through a proxy server to track it, it's better just to do it for the EDR software since you're already tracking for blocking sites. It should be able to just give me everything.

I have been using Bitdefender since about 2011, and I have been using Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra for four years. Also, I am using the solution's cloud-based version, so it is always up-to-date.

I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus.

The scalability is high because not only do you have scalability within there, you can actually set it based on your domain. You can go to your domain controller and set different policies based on where they're within your organizational unit, so highly scalable.

We have plans to increase the usage of the solution. We're actually reviewing that currently.

If you speak about customer support, they are superb. You pick up a phone, you call, you get a live person. With GravityZone, it is a little bit different. You have to submit a ticket, and they usually get back to you within a couple of hours. You don't actually physically get to talk to a live person. If you're using the, you know, consumer version or internet security, you get a live person. You got to send an email. Suppose you start using the business level. You get the premium version, then you get tech support, but it usually takes about half a day for somebody to call you back.

There were three different ways that we actually accomplished Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's deployment process. There were different deployment stages carried out throughout my organization. When we deployed it the first time, it was a manual process that we had to go through the computer. As everything is in the network, we would use PDQ for deployment, and it would press it very quickly. Then we used another resource called NinjaOne or NinjaRMM. So, once we get NinjaRMM in there, then it sees the computer, and it automatically installs for you. So the simplicity depends on where you're at in your industry or within your technical field. Also, it depends on what resources you have available with you. In the post-COVID environment, post-COVID, you need NinjaOne. So no matter where the computer is or plugged in, as long as it's connected to the internet, it sees that computer as a part of your network. So, it grabs it and installs it immediately.

If you have everything within a domain, PDQ works great. If you just have computers and you just got a small little resource environment. Manual installation may impact the cost point making it labor-intensive, but it's probably worth it. So it's easy to install.

We haven't had to reimage the computer owing to virus-related reasons. So, we have seen an ROI using the solution.

Price-wise, Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is actually below market value in comparison to some of its other competitors, such as SentinelOne. If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones.

It's a very straightforward and intuitive solution. I rate the overall solution an eight or nine out of ten.

We deploy GravityZone endpoint protection from the admin to every in-office machine, every utility machine, and then to each work-from-home machine that that attorney or paralegal uses when COVID-19 gets bad. There is a weekly centralized review. There is also response to alerts.

The solution is basically a firewall, antivirus, and anti-malware. It's got a heuristic module. It takes a lot of the same core technology that you see in GravityZone, however, with a decidedly more consumer-friendly face. 

In an office building, there may be other firms on the same floor. In a couple of instances,  an attorney was trying to get a PDF uploaded to the court, or at least that's what he thought he was trying to do. It wouldn't work on his machine so he took it over to his partner's machine. It was a small firm, three attorneys. It wouldn't work on that one. So he took it to his partner's paralegal, and it wouldn't work on that one.

He brought it over to a paralegal from one of my clients, and it immediately detected it as malware and blocked it. That was a vanilla out-of-the-box scan from GravityZone. What's notable about this is the malware was pretty serious and it ended up ransomwaring both of those other firms even though they notified their IT people who went in and attempted remediation. They didn't catch it. We like that because this isn't just defending against network-based attacks, it's successfully defending against everything else.

The solution has better UI and better UX tools.

The standard policies are pretty good, right out of the box. We seldom have to tweak them. We have never had to make, and I'm speaking across probably 14 law firms in 2020, we've never had to attenuate for a specific device case like a scanner or a particular piece of software. On three occasions it did block some software paralegals were trying to install, which turned out to be malicious. 

We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy.

We're pretty strong on GravityZone. We have had zero penetrations across our entire client base.

We don't deal with very large organizations. We stay as far away from active directory and combined network typologies, as much as we possibly can. The way I explain it is we don't build our houses out of straw, we don't build our houses out of wood. Each user machine that piggybacks builds a stone house. 

We've cloud migrated everybody, however, it did not happen generically. We've used Google Enterprise or Box Enterprise, so good stuff. AES-256 at rest and AES-128 in transit. We only do scans on GravityZone covered machines via our contemporary APIs. We close every hole we can find. With people who still have servers, whether they're physical or virtual or cloud, and they're still active directory, and they're still 100% Microsoft shops, I've heard them complain. However, I don't care as it doesn't affect any of my clients.

For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management. A lot of admins will tend to bundle work that we don't think should be bundled, however, they tend to due to the fact that they're underfunded and undermanned. They've got to get all the patches up. They've got to get all the updates done. Therefore, they tend to tweak group policies associated with the active directory. Some of those customizations can create potential security holes.

GravityZone is the only one with the heuristic model, the simulator. We've seen where a thing may pass the script desk, it may pass the node and snippet test, however, it fails the heuristic test. That's where it launches a virtual machine in the high memory and lets the thing do whatever it's going to do, and then looks for where it goes. Of course, a lot of these things then go to the approval area as that's what the admin intended. However, then they get into a bit of a problem with GravityZone as it doesn't want them to do that. GravityZone works fine if you follow best practices in the other areas of your deployments. If you're kind of cheating or cutting corners, GravityZone isn't going to be mean to you, however, it may give you grief. 

I've used the solution as a consumer on behalf of clients. I've been dealing with the solution for four or five years at this point.

The solution is extremely stable. Nothing that I work with is as stable as this product. For example, aside from its default group policies and actions being robust and its very adroit awareness of 'allowable' (you can't get a Kyocera auto-update if you don't have a Kyocera), we log less than one issue per year per client for Gravity Zone.

The technical support is amazing. It's pretty much instantaneous. We've very satisfied with the level of service we are provided.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

We create a package depending on the level of sophistication of the user. The average law firm will have three packages. A low-end package, attorney, because attorneys are actually the least significant player in a law firm. They're the least informed. They're the least aware technologically. Then there are the standard paralegals and then advanced technical paralegals. We want to give more power to the advanced technical paralegals. Prior to COVID, we would typically create two or three distribution points, but with all the work from home, we quickly observed it was unnecessary.

For example, let's say you've got 22 users in an office. You can create two or three distribution points in your configuration of the GravityZone download package. Then, those three distribution points, which are serverless and have no central authority, will capture the updates and distribute those to the other machines. That worked fine pre COVID. Post COVID, with everybody at home, fully 40% of the workforce at home, that creates an unnecessary burden. That's why we've suspended that. 

We're using the UI you configure for whether the users are on a Win 64 machine or a Mac, and sometimes Linux. We build the package, send the package, install the package. When we put GravityZone on a machine we're building for deployment. It's all very quick and smooth.

When we're putting GravityZone on a work from home, typically it's a home laptop that has got a lot of stuff on it that isn't necessary. GravityZone installs in three phases. Phase one is a scan, a comprehensive scan. Phase two looks for offending software that is incompatible, such as McAfee. In home deployments, we very often watch it go through and have to unroot junkware. Sometimes that will take intervention on our part.

Although I can't speak to exact costs, in our experience, not only is it much more effective,  it also never costs more, and sometimes costs less than competitors.

The solution is targeted for the consumer community, however, I've seen it deployed a lot this year from all the work from home attorneys and paralegals and such.

I would advise those seriously considering the solution to go for the three-year contract as it'll save you money. If you're changing protection more often than every three years, then you're not really paying attention.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

We have problems with Word, we have problems with Google, we have problems with Google Drive, we have some problems with the Box API, we have lots of problems with all IFTTT. However, we never really have problems with GravityZone.

We don't have a specific use case for the product. We offer it to our clients.

It's basically used to protect endpoints and servers.  

It protects almost everything the client needs. It depends on the client how they use it, however, the security is very good.

It's easy to sell. If we speak about the parts, the product is easy to sell. 

Compared to other products, it's more complete. It has a lot of features. 

It's easy to deploy. 

I can't recall coming across an area that is lacking. 

Technical support could be faster and more responsive. 

The cost is a bit high.

We've been working with the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. Our clients have been satisfied with the performance. 

The solution is best suited for small or medium-sized organizations. While it's good for all the companies, it is easier to sell to small and medium companies than to bigger companies. Bigger companies, develop software, develop use cases, develop everything. It's more time involved when you deal with larger organizations and their more complex setups.

For the most part, it is easy to scale. 

I've dealt with support several times. In some cases, when the cases are more complicated, it takes too much time to resolve a problem. It would be better if we could just call someone. Right now, we have to email back and forth. If they don't understand what your message is then it's more back and forth. A phone call would be faster. We've had a few cases that were not easy to resolve and there were just too many emails to deal with.

Neutral

We have used EDR solutions with other vendors. Their prices are usually too high in comparison.

It's very easy to set up. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

It's simple to deploy and you can really control every aspect. It's a good product to work with. I'm not sure, however, the exact amount of time it takes to deploy the product. I'm not usually directly involved. 

I'd rate it five out of five in terms of the ease of implementation. 

Our clients tell us they don't have any maintenance to worry about. 

We do provide implementation services to our clients. 

The pricing is expensive. I'd rate t a three out of five in terms of availability. However, some products have fewer features.

The cost is negotiable. 

I'm a distributor.

Every time there's an update, we present it to all our partners and to our clients. We tend to work with the latest version. 

I'd advise anyone to try the product. Try a demo and see how it works and how it might work for your organization. It's quite a good solution.

I'd rate the product eight out of ten.

We use this solution to secure our networking. We have joined Aramco as a vendor and have specifications that are implemented in our network, firewall, security and multi-factor authenticator.

You can control everything, including monitoring of all websites and blocked devices, from one place. If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions. 

This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned. 

We have been using this solution for six years.

This is a stable solution. 

If you wanted to scale this solution, you should make a comparison to other software such as Sophos and Trend Micro.

We currently have 50 users on this solution. 

The technical support for this solution is good but could be improved for Arabic countries.

The Bitdefender setup is very straightforward. You add the email for all users and send them a link to install it. Before they install the solution, you have to specify the settings for your environment. This ensures that when users complete installation, all settings are correct. This process is very easy. 

I installed the solution with the help in configuration from a Bitdefender consultant. This took three to four days. 

Licensing is usually for a three year period.

We are moving away from using this solution. Our financial manager requires a contract and not all companies provide this so we are looking for one that can. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We have been reselling Bitdefender for over twelve years now. Our primary use case for this solution is for a microfinance bank. They wanted a solution that can deliver security in the cloud. In fact, there was no other antivirus partner or manufacturer that has enterprise security that is hosted in the cloud. When they came to us, we told them that we have a solution that can do that, which is Bitdefender GravityZone. We told them exactly what it does:

• You don't need to buy a separate server to deploy it, which is major savings for the bank. 
• It is hosted in the cloud. Because it is hosted in the cloud, you can deploy it in the cloud and you can monitor it from anywhere in the world, whether you are in the office or not. It gives you the stability to know which clients have been updated, which clients have not been updated, which ones have been attacked, and which endpoints have been attacked. 
• You can generate your report. You don't necessarily have to be in the office to have the network working. 

Now, the good thing also about that, apart from the savings and the ability to have the stability of your reports no matter where you are, is the fact that at any point in time, you can have a central policy setting. With that, you can set your policy centrally and from there you push to all your clients. Then also, you can generate your report. You don't necessarily have to be in the office to have the network working. 

What happens is that a desktop will be configured to be what they call a relay server. Then the relay server within your line goes to Bitdefender.com to pick up updates and every client on your network gets updates from the local system. What that means is that it reduces your internet calls. They were happy with that.

The client also wanted to know what happens when they're out of office. I explained that if you're out of the office, once you're connected to the internet, using anything the system goes straight to Bitdefender.com. With the first attempt to view the local server, if it's unable to see the local server, then it takes the second route, which is going to Bitdefender.com. They were very happy about that. They asked all about the issue of memory and performance on systems. I explained that the performance is very light because if it's light, the overhead on the systems is also very low. They were also satisfied with that. 

They asked me how to install on the server and not the desktop and I told them that it's exactly the same as a critical file that you push to boot the server and the desktop. The system is intelligent enough to know which operating system is running and it will handle that. 

Lastly, they asked what happens if they have an existing antivirus. Bitdefender has the ability to automatically uninstall any existing antivirus but we can't make any change on your registry.  

We helped them to do a POC, they were happy with it and after that, they purchased a license of around 2,500 users for two years.

Bitdefender has improved my organization in the way that it has grown our revenue over the years. We have more clients that have signed on Bitdefender GravityZone. Then we have clients who are also migrating from other antivirus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install it on other servers or workstations. It automatically knows what it's protecting.

Most importantly, we've also had very good support from Bitdefender. Any time you get to Bitdefender support with any issue, their response has been very helpful.

The feature that I've found most valuable is the ability to configure updates to be hourly. Only very few antiviruses can do that. You can be protected from a wide range of malware because it can do hourly updates. We haven't heard of another solution that can do this.

The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing.

Bitdefender is very productive because since we started selling Bitdefender for the past ten years, we've had almost about six different revisions. Every year and every six months there are improvements in their products, based on feedback, customer needs, changes in technology, and so on. 

For example, people were talking about encryption, so today you have GravityZone that has the ability to perform disc encryption. Disc encryption is done to ensure that your disc isn't attacked. 

Clients were requesting for endpoint detection EDR, which right now they have been able to incorporate. At any point in time, they have always been improving. 

Every six months there are new features. Every three months new features come in to address the needs of these customers. Bitdefender has consistently been very pro-active in virtually all the places we've installed. We ask our clients if they have any issues with the product. All of them say that it's very easy to install and to understand and that they don't have any problems with it. Any global requirements are constantly incorporated. Our clients want to see some intelligence built into reporting but they saw that most antivirus solutions don't do analytics. Bitdefender has acquired a new company that does analytics so the analytics software gets input from the antivirus then it is able to correlate and give you the analytics that are required.

Once we install it properly, it is stable.

We don't have any issues with the scalability. 

In terms of the number of users that use this solution, it depends on the client. One of our clients has a 2,500 user license. We have another one using an over 4,000 user license. We have some using a 5 user license. 

Usually, the roles of the people who manage it within the organization are on the security team. It's usually people in the network administration, working with IT security

Bitdefender has very good technical support because all you need to do is send an email to support and in less than five minutes somebody is online. You can also chat with them if you need to chat. They have the option to email. If you are in a remote area, they have telephonic support as well. 

We have been using Bitdefender for a long time. We've never used any other antivirus. Other customers have moved from other platforms to Bitdefender because of the possibility of the cloud solution. 

They also choose Bitdefender because it has competitive pricing compared to solutions like McAfee and Symantec. They have local support and it's easy to use.

The initial setup is very straightforward and easy. All you need to do is set up your account in Bitdefender Central. Once you open up your accounts, an email is sent to you, you accept the email, and set up your password then it gives you space on the cloud and that's all. It's good to go. The next thing is to link it to your active directory. Once you link it to the active directory, you can see all the users and you just send them an email and they will click and once they click, that's all. It's very easy.

Usually, deployments can take up to six months but can vary from two days to three months as well. It depends on one, the environment in the sense that, if for example, we are deploying to an organization with about 9,000 users, and they are distributed across a large geographical location, they cannot do an antivirus deployment immediately. They need to do what is called a phased implementation. Usually, phases are done off work periods, either in the night or weekends. The reason is that we don't want anything that would disrupt operations. 

Two, usually before we do implementation we do what they call a checklist. We need to know which systems they have if they're Windows, Android or IOS. We want to know which versions because not all versions are supported at any point in time. If they're not supported, we need to do an upgrade on these systems before implementations start. 

Thirdly, we look at the memory and what resources they have. Usually, there is what we call minimum and there's recommended. We go for recommended in terms of specification. Once the recommended is done, we look at the structure of their active directory then after that, we sit down with the IT team who are going to be part of the implementation and take them through the product portfolio of what we want to implement. We show them all the features, show them the various implementation methodologies and configuration options. We show them how updates are done. We now move farther to tell them some of the other requirements like some ports that must be left open in each of these systems at the routers so that the packages can pass through, they are not considered as malicious.

If you have any other security software running in your environment, you'll need to create exceptions for the Bitdefender package. After that, we start implementation with one or two systems then we allow them to then shadow us and do it on their own. If there are issues, we show them where the mistake was made. We continue to give them offline support or on-site support depending on the contract they have signed with us or with our resellers.

Ordinarily, the number of staff we require for deployment is a function of how large the organization is. On average, it's a maximum of five people because for very large organizations we have to do phased implementations and depending on which implementation methodology is chosen, whether it's going to be on-prem or cloud. If it's cloud, it's very simple. Somebody just logs on to the computer and begins to deploy very easily. Just control the systems and do the installation. 

We're a value-added distributor. We have technical expertise in-house, we give resellers the options to either deploy or we deploy on their behalf. There are some resellers who don't have deployment abilities, there are some resellers who have deployment abilities, and there are some users who have deployment abilities, there are some users who don't have deployment skills. It depends on the scenario. If a user wants to do the deployment themselves it's fine but if they run into a problem during installation, we are going to charge them for the installation. We usually draw a line between installation issues and support issues especially for new clients because some clients want to install it themselves then in the course of the installation, they don't install properly and they tell us it's a support issue.

The licensing cost is on a monthly basis when you're doing the MSP model. MSP is a managed security service model. If you're doing the regular one year license, the licensing is based on what we call, a licensing band, so you get the minimum. The minimum is a three-user license. The pricing depends on the nature of the customer's environment, the number of users, and the infrastructure the customer has. 

For example, if you have Microsoft Exchange in your environment and you want to protect it then you have to take a different option because you have the options of GravityZone business, you have the GravityZone Advance then you have the GravityZone Enterprise. It depends on the function of your infrastructure. Once we are able to know the infrastructure a customer has then we'll be able to come up with the right option.

There are additional costs apart from the initial licensing fee. The additional costs will come from things like the local support of the partner. If you're looking for on-site support then that would be an additional cost. They offer free offsite support, like telephonic and email support. 

We evaluated all other solutions like Symantec and McAfee which has no local support. We evaluated ESET but their rating was not good. We evaluated Kaspersky but Kaspersky required many resources.

My advice to somebody considering this solution would be to one, make sure that you get the exact model of the product you're looking for based on your environment. Two, you must ensure that you meet the minimum requirements because for Bitdefender if you don't meet the minimum requirements, it will not install. It will not install and if it does not install you will never know where the problem is coming from. 

I would rate Bitdefender a ten out of ten.
