Enhances my daily operation, protects me from online threats and doesn't slow down my system
I haven't used any of the extra add-on modules, even though they have VPN and things like that. But, I really like the warnings I get when I visit low-rated websites. This protects me because the ratings let me know those sites aren't safe, which was something I was missing in my previous antivirus solutions. I found Bitdefender Total Security easy to use. The interface is straightforward, and it runs silently in the background. Bitdefender has features like a password manager, parental controls, and a VPN – even though I don't use them. It seems like Bitdefender Total Security has everything.
Rick Cassel - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting
We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I value Bitdefender Total Security for its effectiveness in scanning even the latest threats, and protecting my system from potential malware."
"Bitdefender Total Security is a cloud-based solution with lower costs. We haven't encountered any security issues since using the product."
"Bitdefender Total Security offers a wide range of valuable features that enhance its usability and effectiveness."
"The tool blocks malicious downloads. Its most valuable feature is the Autopilot mode."
"It speeds up processes, efficiently cleans up caches that would typically take a considerable amount of time to locate, and overall, it noticeably quickens the pace of my computer usage."
"The product is stable"
"The dashboard and granular control features are great."
"The software consolidates multiple features under one license. Bitdefender protects against ransomware attacks. Furthermore, it covers various devices under a single subscription."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
 

Cons

"Bitdefender Total Security should improve its resource usage. It should also work on cloud storage."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"Bitdefender Total Security needs to improve its security features."
"Sometimes, it blocks some networks that we are using."
"The location-tracking feature for finding phones could be improved, as well as the remote wipe functionality."
"The solution could improve the way they manage it."
"It would be beneficial if Bitdefender could enhance the speed of its updates for a more immediate response to emerging threats."
"I would like to see some flexibility in the ransomware limitations."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"The product is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
