Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints
The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"I find Bitdefender to be very light. When we were using the other versions, users would complain that they would make the computers slow. But since we have deployed Bitdefender, we haven't had that."
"It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well."
"What I appreciate most about Bitdefender are its web content filtering, blocking malicious sites, and its ability to thwart brute force attacks on open ports."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"We find the protection the solution provides valuable."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"The solution is very scalable."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"The traceback feature in XDR is amazing. You can trace back an attack. You can playback where an attack actually occurred and see how the attacker moved. We can easily show this to management, and it makes it easy to make them understand and convince them, which is the best thing."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."
"They've got all this training that's available, but it involves stuff that doesn't really encompass the solution as a whole."
"The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"When implementing this solution, sometimes we have challenges with SQL migration."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"The product isn't very user-friendly."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair."
"Its price has gone up since our last renewal. My renewal fee has gone from $517.99 in 2018 for 3 years to $739.99 when it renews this year in July. I love the product, but a price increase of over 40% is a bit exorbitant."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The licensing costs can vary."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"We pay a yearly fee of between $10,000 and $15,000."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"The product has a high price in Kuwait."
