System Admin II
5.0

Walt R.: Hi, I'm Walt. I'm a System Admin. I give Bitdefender five out of five. Click below. We were using Sophos when we went to Bitdefender, and I really didn't consider any other products because I already done sufficient research to know that it was the product to go with. I ended up choosing Bitdefender because one, it was the highest rated product for years from Independent Labs, and I had extensive experience of using it as both, basically, the personal product and small business product, and it had been bulletproof. It was set and forget. It just works. Bitdefender was a breeze to deploy compared to other enterprise products I have had used in the past. I was able to do it all by myself without any input from support. The only thing that was a bit of a learning curve was just learning their particular user interface, which is not quite the same as you would get with most of the mainstream products. After using Bitdefender for, gosh, now seven years and having used other products, I can't recommend any other product for your basic anti-malware. They have increased the scope and the ability of the product without increasing the load on my computers. Nobody notices when we run full scans. It has the same features of standalone products like Carbon Black, Silence, and CrowdStrike, at a price that is lower than any of those individual licenses. And like I said, Bitdefender listens to their customers and they are responsive.

Photographer
5.0

Donald N: My name is Don. I'm a photographer, and I use AVG AntiVirus Business Edition. I give it a five out of five. I've been using McAfee before I used the AVG. I had McAfee, I was paying a monthly subscription and it ended up going up after one year. So over the past two years, I've been using the AVG Business Edition, and that's been my only virus protection program that I'm using currently since this past two years. My reason for choosing the AVG is because McAfee, the pricing kept changing. It was getting more expensive after the one year and then after when it got onto the two year mark and I just was hesitant to continue with it. Mainly based on the price and I just didn't really locked their practices of one time giving me a discount then the discount didn't last and I was just figuring that it was on a trend going up over time. So I said, I wanted something more stable as regard to price and where I could give to something that was just going to work best for me and then I have a clue of what to expect later. The onboarding was really easy. I just went on Google, I searched for AVG, and once I went to the website and I just put in some basic information about me and my company, just went ahead and set up the registration for it, downloaded it and it downloaded very quickly. It was easy to set up the scheduled scans and I was able to do quick scans, full scans, all that, and everything was laid out in a format to me that it was much simpler than McAfee. So just getting on there, getting set up and registered, it just went really quickly for me. It was very easy. I didn't have any trouble at all of setting it up, and I'm not having any issues just even remaining with it. Everything's been working properly and no frustration at all. Definitely recommend that people can sign up for it to see how easy it is and see for themselves that AVG does work well. It has the ability to scan and find viruses or threats to the computer. So whenever if that there was a threat detected, it'll let me know. And so just by using it, setting it up, and practicing with it is great. So I'd recommend just going for it and just seeing for yourself that it really does work. It's got easy format and it's definitely something that is worthwhile.
