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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The risk analytics capability is excellent because the central console is very good."
"The product provides a single dashboard."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"The most valuable feature is the IDS."
"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."
"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 is perfectly stable. We haven't received any complaints from customers regarding stability or performance. It's been smooth sailing so far."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Performance is very good."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
 

Cons

"The initial setup should be made easier."
"Sometimes the response from Technical Support takes more time than usual because level three support is not in Brazil."
"I think it would be helpful if I could get a live console directly on the machine. Additionally, if I could run scripts on the machines to respond to any incidents, that would be a great feature."
"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."
"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"The tool's pricing structure is good. We use an annual subscription."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"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."
"The price is fair."
"The license is yearly."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
