Policy tuning has improved cloud threat detection while rule creation still needs simplification
Bitdefender Security for AWS provides an agent-based solution that combines antivirus, endpoint detection and response and behavioral detection to reduce the risk of compromised production servers. One of the best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS is its protection for EC2 workloads. It offers centralized management from a single console, allowing users to manage policies, deployments, and visibility across all AWS platforms. This centralized approach simplifies administration and improves efficiency. The anti-malware and behavioral detection features are robust. For both Windows and Linux EC2 instances, Bitdefender provides strong detection capabilities against both known and unknown threats, helping to minimize false positives and accurately identify true positives. It also supports offloading scans to optimize performance. Bitdefender Security for AWS helps secure servers running in AWS while reducing CPU and I/O consumption. Managing physical servers is often more complex since it may require additional hardware, such as memory expansions or system extensions, to maintain performance. In contrast, AWS environments benefit from Bitdefender’s optimized performance, resulting in lower CPU and memory usage, as well as better handling of I/O loads. From a security standpoint, this solution allows for easier management even under high resource consumption. Because it operates within AWS, performance remains stable, making it a reliable and efficient choice for cloud-based security operations.

Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS are its EC2 workloads, called elastic compute cloud, which provide a solution from a single console to manage policy, deployment, and visibility across all platforms and across all AWS, so it was easy that way and it was good."
"When my phone was stolen the solution enabled me to access my data so that I could take a screenshot of the person using my phone and have it sent to my email."
"The most valuable feature of McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is the central management console. I can control everything from one place."
"It has a very good interface."
"There is no problem with the stability of the product...It is a scalable solution."
"There have never been any issues in terms of security, so it's assumed that McAfee is doing its job well."
"The solution is scalable."
"The good part of this solution is that it protects the systems from malware etc. It also has a good user interface."
"The customer service is very helpful."
 

Cons

"For a small industry, it will be fine, but when you are initiating Bitdefender Security for AWS in a large-scale environment, you need careful planning and tuning with policy tuning, and in a large scale, it will be difficult."
"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."
"We'd like the price point to be more attractive to potential users."
"Scanning times could be reduced."
"They should work to make the renewal process better. I'd like to see is a few weeks of notification up front that the renewal is about to expire."
"This solution is okay for users who are just office personnel. Developers or users who heavily use their laptops complain that it really slows down their laptops. Using this solution can be a big challenge from the performance perspective if you need a productive system that locally runs multiple VMs."
"I found that the interface is a little bit confusing. It's over-stuffed. If a new IT person comes in, it is difficult to understand how the McAfee console works."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards better."
"I would like to see improvements made to make it more secure."
"The product must use AI to detect and block unwanted viruses automatically."

"The solution is not expensive."
"There is a yearly subscription for McAfee."
"The licensing fees are billed on an annual basis."
"The pricing is cheap."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."

"The licensing depends on the number of devices secured by this product."
