"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."

"I find the documentation on Symantec.com to be not very updated. It seems like Symantec focuses more on their product than on documentation."

"Installation of the tool on a workstation requires some technical knowledge, which could be more straightforward."
