Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bitdefender is set out across our entire organization across all Windows PCs. It runs standard anti-virus, as well as anti-malware and network protection. It is one layer of security in our entire security/protection strategy. I use the GravityZone side to manage Bitdefender, which is simple to configure but offers complexity where it needs it. Having this cloud hosted means I don't require hardware onsite to run a server.

Pros and Cons

Low CPU and memory use.
Cloud-based hosting doesn't require hardware onsite.
Has kept us "clean" for the past several years.

Notifications of events can come in slowly.
Reporting detail is lacking in some areas.
Bitdefender occasionally releases new features but doesn't explain what they do well.

Return on Investment

For a 3-year contract, we saved considerably over other options out there.
Memory and CPU usage on PCs was less than other options.

Support Rating

Bitdefender has always responded quickly to any request that I've had (I haven't had too many though...).
