Efficient email security and link scanning streamline network protection
One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI. It is not intuitive to manage policies as I have to go through several pages to find necessary information. Additionally, the profile management for scanning and protection profiles is clumsy and could be more straightforward. There should be some simplification in changing profiles due to performance issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."

"The most valuable features include email security and web URL scanning, particularly the link scanning aspect."
"A user cannot uninstall or disable the tool from their systems. It has ransomware blocking and zero-day threat protection. The tool also alerts us whenever a system or device has been compromised. It has a web control feature to manage website categories."
"I like the EDR feature."
"It's easy to use."
"It has a very good cloud console that's easy to use and install."
"We find it extremely effective. We probably have over 500 endpoints, and we have not had any reports of viruses since we have installed it. It is very reliable."
"Carbon Black provides an overview of all our assets and their status."
"The greatest value of MDR involves the tests, reporting and alerts, so that we may respond immediately."
"The greatest value of MDR involves the tests, reporting and alerts, so that we may respond immediately."
"The valuable features are threat hunting, threat intelligence feeds, and it culls all the activities of the endpoint. Additionally, the ML and AI engines are really good."
"The installation process is quick and easy."
"This is where Carbon Black has been phenomenal for us, it has detected many security concerns."
"I don't have to take care of this product; it's just working and that's it, and I don't have to think about anything."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI."
"Bitdefender MDR consumes too many resources during scanning which further affects developers' productivity."
"They can improve their support a little bit. We've had some issues with some of the installations in terms of getting the installation, configuration, and flows correct, and sometimes, their support is not as simple and easy to deal with as we'd like."
"One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI. It is not intuitive to manage policies as I have to go through several pages to find necessary information."
"The lack of integration with Microsoft Outlook is a significant drawback."
"We need more updates as there are always more threats coming."
"Integration capabilities are not as rich as other tools like CrowdStrike's. Bitdefender wasn't as feature-rich in that aspect."
"Bitdefender needs to probably position this product and create more awareness among people because a lot of companies use products like CrowdStrike, which is doing pretty well."
"In the future, it would be great if they could provide endpoint management and the ADR solution together in this package."
"As the solution has changed hands, I expect some changes in licensing and in support. It remains to be seen if that will be good or bad."

"Carbon Black's support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As far as pricing is concerned, I would rate them not expensive, not cheap."
"Bitdefender fit well for customers with about 50 to 200 users. The price point is great, and you get a lot of bang for your buck."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"It varies based on the number of licenses."
"I know it is based on the volume and size and also on different multi-year agreements. There are different discounts applied, but I can't really speak about the specifics."
"The price of this solution is inexpensive compare with others. The company went out of its way to provide us with a favorable discount. However, there is room for improving the current licensing model and the price of some of the fees. The model is complex and could be streamlined."
