Bitdefender Security for AWS Reviews

As an IT system administrator, I manage security systems for five companies and five factories using Bitdefender Security for AWS, and I utilize their management panel to oversee their security systems.

My main use case for Bitdefender Security for AWS is that I sometimes create new rules for internet problems and in situations where companies are detecting a virus, which sometimes appears to be a virus but is not, so I need to allow some rules to resolve those problems.

I often have to create or adjust rules due to access problems where access to some websites is blocked.

As part of my daily tasks with Bitdefender Security for AWS, I encounter situations where certain programs or setups are flagged as viruses, and when I run some programs, they are detected as a virus when they are not, so I need to create new rules to prevent them from being blocked.

The best features Bitdefender Security for AWS offers are its AI features, which I find valuable because they teach how to protect network systems against viruses and many attacks.

The AI features help me in my daily work because we often cannot identify the type of virus or phishing attacks coming from websites, and sometimes when we download strange exe files, they can install viruses on our computers. Different viruses can lock all files, and hackers may demand money to unlock them, which we definitely do not want to pay, and Bitdefender Security for AWS stops these viruses efficiently.

Bitdefender Security for AWS has positively impacted my organization because, while it does not completely protect against all virus programs, it addresses many issues as hackers continually create new viruses that we may not be aware of.

I cannot provide any suggestions for improvement regarding Bitdefender Security for AWS because I do not have any ideas; I am just a user managing the administrator panel, and generally, Bitdefender Security for AWS does its job successfully. When a problem occurs, I recognize this as a blocking or access issue, and we try to solve this problem by creating new rules.

Our clients consistently tell me that Bitdefender Security for AWS slows down their computers and internet speed significantly, so they suggest that this issue should be addressed since many clients complain about their computers running very slowly after installing Bitdefender Security for AWS.

While we do not outright discourage using Bitdefender Security for AWS due to its effects on computer speed, I note that after installing it, we sometimes argue with customers about their computers becoming slower, which is not ideal. Bitdefender Security for AWS appears to perform better on stronger computers, for instance, E5 or E7 processors with sixteen gigabytes of RAM, but older computers tend to slow down significantly when Bitdefender Security for AWS is installed, so I think they should address this issue.

I have been working in my current field for seventeen years.

I believe that Bitdefender Security for AWS can handle growth with more users and devices easily.

I sometimes call the Bitdefender Security for AWS support team for help, particularly with initial installations, setup guidance, and antivirus parameters, and they assist me with those.

I have not switched from any other solution to Bitdefender Security for AWS, but I recommend our clients to use Bitdefender antivirus programs because it works better than other virus solutions.

I have seen positive results in saving time and reducing the number of security incidents, even if it is not perfect.

I would rate Bitdefender Security for AWS an eight out of ten because no virus program can be perfect; this is just how it is.

Bitdefender Security for AWS manages and secures our systems well. Bitdefender Security for AWS detects threats correctly and provides reliable results. In the management panel, I see that Bitdefender Security for AWS blocks approximately one thousand virus threats efficiently.

I recommend to others to use Bitdefender Security for AWS programs without any issues since we have many customers who are currently using Bitdefender Security for AWS successfully. I need to check and control the Bitdefender Security for AWS management panel and would have more feedback, but I currently do not have the time to check it. My overall rating for Bitdefender Security for AWS is eight out of ten.

My main use case for Bitdefender Security for AWS is complex MSP environments who use AWS and Bitdefender.

I have additional thoughts about my main use case or how my clients are using Bitdefender Security for AWS, as many partners use the environment because it works better than Microsoft for them. Because they are an AWS house, it just makes sense to use everything within the stack and then everything from Bitdefender that is purpose-built for AWS.

Bitdefender Security for AWS has positively impacted my organization because it gives our partners and MSPs the flexibility to stay within the environment that they already have and not forcing them to move to a different environment, such as Microsoft. It provides clarity and the ability to be flexible within their own comfortable environment.

I can share specific outcomes or metrics that demonstrate this positive impact, as there are many benefits such as time saved because everything is already in one environment within AWS. It makes it so much easier to have one pane of glass for everything. From a cost perspective, it also makes a lot of sense for MSPs.

Bitdefender Security for AWS offers excellent features including security for containers, S3 bucket usage and security for that, as well as password managers around all of that.

Container security and S3 bucket protection have made a difference for my clients because it is all native to AWS. Bitdefender comes in and adds extra layers of security and makes everything seamless. The integration between Bitdefender Security for AWS and AWS is extremely smooth and seamless.

Bitdefender Security for AWS can be improved, but I think it is good as it is. Updates and upgrades to different versions of different products within AWS and the switchover between AWS and Bitdefender can be completed quicker.

I have been using Bitdefender Security for AWS for just over three years.

I would rate Bitdefender Security for AWS overall as a nine out of ten.

I give it a nine and not a ten because sometimes the updates can really be a hindrance in terms of productivity, which is why I did not give it a ten.

Regarding Bitdefender Security for AWS's AI capabilities, I think they take governance really seriously, so I am not too concerned. I think they have the basis covered, and they have a great team.

Regarding Bitdefender Security for AWS's AI capabilities, I think the accuracy and reliability of output is really good, as the AI component has been put through multiple stress tests by the Bitdefender team, so I think that the output is fairly accurate.

Bitdefender Security for AWS is not deployed in my organization, but it is deployed in the MSPs that we serve. The MSPs deploy Bitdefender Security for AWS mainly in private cloud and then hybrid as well. Those MSPs typically use AWS and they use on-premises from time to time.

Some of my MSP partners did purchase Bitdefender Security for AWS through the AWS Marketplace.

My advice to others looking into using Bitdefender Security for AWS is to make sure you understand both the Bitdefender side as well as the AWS side, because if you do not, you will struggle on either end. Familiarize yourself with both environments and how they merge and come together.

I think Bitdefender Security for AWS is an amazing tool, and my overall rating for this product is nine out of ten.

My main use case for Bitdefender Security for AWS is the protection of EC2 instances. There is nothing else regarding this use case.

Bitdefender Security for AWS offers fantastic integration with the AWS inventory, an extremely lightweight agent, and modules that detect behavioral anomalies and provide extremely fast and accurate detections.

The integration with the AWS inventory makes my day-to-day work easier as it speeds up daily processes, simplifies those processes, saves time for the analysts in their daily work, and standardizes how we operate.

I believe the features are very good, as we have not had any type of malware issues or issues with intrusions into our machines. The performance impact was extremely low, and Bitdefender is an extremely lightweight agent that does not affect our CPU and memory consumption. Additionally, the unified GravityZone portal centralizes the information, allowing the team to manage everything in an extremely simplified, easy way.

Bitdefender Security for AWS has had a positive impact on my organization, mostly coming from the security it provides. Bitdefender is recognized as one of the best endpoints in the market and offers excellent cost-benefit, especially since we used some AWS credits, leading to a final cost that was within expectations.

I believe that one of the points that could be improved in Bitdefender Security for AWS is the integration with Fargate and Lambda functions, as we felt a lack of deeper and unified coverage for containers and serverless within the same standard licensing.

There is a learning curve for configuring exception policies in GravityZone that analysts go through, along with a need to adjust some whitelisting rules which requires good granularity to avoid opening gaps.

The implementation process and tuning of policies could be simplified and improved over time. There is room to optimize and maximize this process to reduce the complexity for implementation in a faster and more automated way.

Bitdefender Security for AWS is extremely stable.

The scalability of Bitdefender Security for AWS is great as we do not have problems with it. Since it is automated, we encounter no issues with scalability.

Customer support can be considered from two angles. The knowledge base is excellent and can solve many of the problems we have, especially with tuning policies and permissions. While Level 1 support requires a lot of information which takes time to compile, once that is overcome, the service is fast, attentive, and solves the problem.

In the past, we were not using any specific solution as we looked for alternatives in the market, so there was nothing else installed.

We use Amazon Web Services as our cloud provider.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, the experience has been very good as we were able to unify billing with AWS. I believe the prices are aligned with what the tool delivers. There was a learning curve for configuration but we managed to get through that phase. The overall experience was good.

We have achieved return on investment as Bitdefender Security for AWS blocked a preventive attempt to execute a cryptocurrency mining script that tried to exploit a vulnerability in our application. We also saved team hours with automated deployment on the instances, reducing the man-hour cost for maintaining the tool after its implementation and parameterization.

I purchased Bitdefender Security for AWS through the AWS Marketplace.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, the experience has been very good as we were able to unify billing with AWS. I believe the prices are aligned with what the tool delivers. There was a learning curve for configuration but we managed to get through that phase. The overall experience was good.

Before choosing Bitdefender Security for AWS, we evaluated Trend Micro and CrowdStrike Falcon. While CrowdStrike is very good, the price is more prohibitive. Trend Micro is also a strong competitor; however, we identified more with the GravityZone interface as it is more inviting and simpler. Bitdefender Security for AWS is in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, was better positioned, and presented more innovations to us.

I strongly recommend Bitdefender Security for AWS for companies that need to ensure security in IaaS without compromising performance or budget, especially if they already have an established automation culture and adopt best practices, making it one of the best cost-benefit solutions. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

The main use case I have for Bitdefender Security for AWS includes medium- to large-profile companies. In a company of that profile, I specifically use Bitdefender Security for AWS for security for all their repositories, connectivity, and their servers.

The best features that Bitdefender Security for AWS offers are its security against viruses and ransomware attacks, which are the main target in information security today.

I notice the effectiveness of these functions in practice because the evidence that Bitdefender stores within its management console allows me to have visibility of those blocks, filters, and detections that have occurred, ensuring that the work and operation of Bitdefender is carried out without problems.

Bitdefender Security for AWS has positively impacted my organization by managing to cover those companies that are developing within the trend of using the cloud, which is the vast majority. The coverage for cloud-based companies has benefited my clients and organization because I have noticed improvements in efficiency and results framed in the measurement of the security that has been achieved, in terms of the number of blocks and threat lists; this gives visibility that the functionality of the processes and their security is happening without issues.

I think Bitdefender Security for AWS could improve as it currently has an issue of stability and growth of its tools, both in the administrative and technical areas, as well as in the security levels that are being required and needed more every day.

I have been using Bitdefender Security for AWS for three or four years.

I consider Bitdefender Security for AWS to be quite a stable solution.

I think the scalability of Bitdefender Security for AWS is quite acceptable.

My experience with the technical support of Bitdefender Security for AWS has been functional and it has worked.

I did not use any other solution before Bitdefender Security for AWS.

I have noticed a return on investment from implementing Bitdefender Security for AWS because of the very simple administration, which reduces staff cost and time.

My experience with the pricing, implementation costs, and licenses of Bitdefender Security for AWS has been accessible.

Before choosing Bitdefender Security for AWS, I did not evaluate other options.

I would rate Bitdefender Security for AWS a nine out of ten. I give Bitdefender Security for AWS a nine because it is a very complete tool with very global visibility. I would advise other people who are considering using Bitdefender Security for AWS to try the solution so they know it is very functional. My overall review rating for Bitdefender Security for AWS is nine.

My main use case for Bitdefender Security for AWS is affordability.

A quick specific example of how I use Bitdefender Security for AWS in my day-to-day work is that we are using its firewall for multi-connection.

The best features Bitdefender Security for AWS offers are that it is easy to work with, has a good console, and is priced well.

What I like about the console is that it is easy to use. I would also like to add that the pricing for Bitdefender Security for AWS is good.

Bitdefender Security for AWS has positively impacted my organization by saving time and making things easier, and it also improved security. It saves time and makes things easier for me because it prevents the attacks.

I cannot tell specifically how Bitdefender Security for AWS can be improved. I would like to add that perhaps Bitdefender Security for AWS could improve the front-end.

I have been using Bitdefender Security for AWS for one year.

Bitdefender Security for AWS is stable.

The scalability of Bitdefender Security for AWS is pretty good and is scalable.

The customer support I experience is seven out of ten.

I have not previously used a different solution.

I did not purchase Bitdefender Security for AWS through the AWS Marketplace; I obtained it on the GravityZone website.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Bitdefender Security for AWS is pretty good.

I have seen a return on investment, as approximately 30% of time is saved.

Before choosing Bitdefender Security for AWS, I evaluated ESET as an option.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Bitdefender Security for AWS is that it saves your time and saves your cost. I would rate this product a 10 out of 10.

The protection that it provides is valuable because the biggest problem that people and companies have been seeing in the last two or three years is scams and everything like that. You ought to protect yourself for security reasons. You want to make sure you protect critical things such as files or databases because there's so much hacking going on in the world.

I remember when they first pushed it to the DBM server, my backup server at the time, it caused a lot of issues because they were supposed to exclude all the folders that they were backing up to and had the storage. I got hold of the security group and asked them to uninstall it. We uninstalled it, ran a script, and then it fixed the problem. If you're going to install it on a server, you need to do research to find out what you should avoid.

It was included in the account that we had. We didn't have to pay for it. 

It works well as long as you set it right. You have to be careful with Bitdefender. It's different when you use it on laptops and desktops, but on servers, it's not the same. You need to make proper settings on it for what you ought to exclude. The problems it was causing were mainly because they didn't set it up properly. When you start putting it on things, you have to make sure you don't include certain things and that you make proper rules and settings to say go scan this or that. When you're installing anything like this on desktops, laptops, servers, or anything else, you want to make sure that you have done the research first and that you know what to include or exclude.

Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.
