Featured Reviews

Jörg Köhler - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at AvalisNT AG
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.
EQ
Chief Information Officer at The C&S Companies
It gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment
The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We find it extremely effective, as we probably have over 500 endpoints and have not had any reports of viruses since we installed it, and it is very reliable."
"A lot of the AI that is running in the background that deals with the response on different detections is important, and the learning from the labs themselves is also very important. That's where they set themselves apart from others. A lot of the other products that are out there on the market probably have a lot more bells and whistles, but they are not necessarily directed at the heart of what MDR should do, at least in my opinion. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and in my opinion, if you're getting back to the basics and doing what its true intention is, they've done a very good job in comparison to others."
"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."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The main thing I like about it is it's got all the features I need."
"I like the EDR feature."
"The most valuable features include email security and web URL scanning, particularly the link scanning aspect."
"Customer service and support are very good."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"I have no regrets about standardizing on LMNTRIX as our endpoint protection agent."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"Customer service is stellar and they really care about their customers."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment, telling us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"For companies like us that couldn't afford to setup and staff a 24/7 SOC, LMNTRIX is the perfect solution."
"I sleep better at night knowing that LMNTRIX is monitoring our systems and has the ability to respond to threats as they happen."
 

Cons

"The automatic backup isn't very big."
"The lack of integration with Microsoft Outlook is a significant drawback."
"Integration capabilities are not as rich as other tools like CrowdStrike's. Bitdefender wasn't as feature-rich in that aspect."
"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."
"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."
"We need more updates as there are always more threats coming."
"One area for improvement is the user-friendliness of the UI."
"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."
"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator. I would love to see other multifactor applications added to this list as well as physical devices such as Yubikey."
"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"As far as pricing is concerned, I would rate them not expensive, not cheap."
"The pricing and ease of install are great!"
"The cost is going to be a little higher than traditional endpoint protection, but you are getting the 24/7 monitoring and validation by highly skilled analysts and that makes it worth it."
"It's not the cheapest solution, but you certainly get what you paid for."
