This would still be cheaper than the S1 complete package. One great option for these new AV vendors like CrowdStrike and S1 is to buy their XDR packages and have them run on top of a traditional AV vendor. Crowdstrike failed to block most of our tests.īecause of the price canyon between S1 Complete and BitDefender Ultra, we decided to get more optional addons out of BitDefender and look at doubling up down the road. Especially looking at a product more prone to false positives.Ĭrowdstrike and Sophos did not impress on our internal tests. We don’t have 24/7/365 coverage and have some users that run tasks that are prone to be detected and need to have some ability to self manage. We loved S1 for the most part but its lack of a real useful UI for the users kinda killed it for us. they finally referred me to solarwinds, a partner company responsible for av defender. Caution: If the uninstall tool is used on the same machine which has Bitdefender Management Server installed, it will affect the existing product. Contact support Bitdefender Endpoint Client v4 & Bitdefender Client Security 3.5 suite. Not quite as good as S1 but enough for our needs. Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools (Windows) up to v6.4.x Endpoint Security by Bitdefender v5.x. It has taken over our client firewall management entirely and is doing a great job. Firewall management features are actually really good although not really hyped.We added patch management and extended the crap out of EDR retention for less than half the price of S1 complete. Uninstall all programs under SolarWinds in the list. Go to Programs and Features (Run > appwiz.cpl) and sort the list by Publisher. Price isn’t even in the same ballpark. Open SolarWinds License Manager and deactivate your license.S1 blocked some false positives but blocked everything malicious we threw at it. We picked BitDefender Ultra for these reasons: I just finished a large scale PoC with both, as well as CrowdStrike and Sophos.
