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.

Offers a single console to control all applications and URL filtering
I am satisfied with the malware detection capabilities of the solution. At our company, using the product we haven't found any incidents or threats that couldn't be easily resolved. Most of the customers of Trend Micro ServerProtect in our organization belong to the Healthcare industry. I have witnessed smooth integrations with Trend Micro ServerProtect. I haven't yet noticed any AI capabilities in the product. I would recommend others to adopt Trend Micro ServerProtect as it can be easily installed and managed. The product assists in administration. The solution is a perfect fit for the SMB segment. I would rate Trend Micro ServerProtect an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides a single dashboard."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."
"I like its unified interface, which also helps you scan Outlook email, for example. Multiple products can be standardized across endpoints or the EDR solution, and the integrations with SIEMs."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"The most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Performance is very good."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
 

Cons

"At this point in time, the download footprint is a bit big. What I mean is the initial file I download to deploy on end-user devices is about six hundred to seven hundred megabytes, and it should be scaled down to an agent size of maybe less than one hundred megabytes, max."
"It could be simplified a little bit for firewall rules and blocking specific IP addresses. It would be nice to have an option to upload a CSV or XLSX file of IP addresses to be blacklisted or to be able to specify a range as attempted logins from botnets and people attempting to access network accounts is an increasing issue across the board."
"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."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"The lack of detecting security threats and high memory usage need to be improved."
"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."
"The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not improving. Even experienced personnel are finding it difficult."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"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."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"You don't have to pay extra after buying the product."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."
"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."
"The tool is not expensive and pricing is competitive."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"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."
"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."
