Superb feedback and help with professional and friendly communications. Excellent Product easy to purchase, easy to install and correct whatever problem I had.

New customer today

As a new customer today and having used many of your competitors, including ESET and Norton, I can say that the service I received left everyone behind. Alex was an Ambassador for Bitdefender. Being partially blind, talked me through setting up and answered all my questions with professionalism, calmness, and a very customer-focused approach. WELL DONE

They followed up and gave great support

They followed up, I tried fixing my issue using the chat bot, which didn't work because I didn't have the necessary information, so I clicked out. I forgot about it but then I received an email following up from support asking if I needed more assistance and we eventually solved my issue. Top notch customer support.

I replaced my MacAfee with Bitdefender because I thought they were doing a terrible job. And was right. Thanks to Bitdefender, I found out my banking information is on the Dark Web. I never would have known otherwise

Bitdefender is worth the cost

I've been using Bitdefender for close to 5-years, never an issue.
Wait until they have a sale and the price is very reasonable - I get Ultimate Security

I was at a loss to recover a Bitdefender account

I was at a loss to recover a Bitdefender account for my church computer. The gmail account associated with Bitdefender was deleted some time back and I lost the password to log in to change to the new gmail.

It has been a positive experience…

It has been a positive experience during the first year. After a little confusion at renewal which was resolved quickly. I have renewed for a longer period and increased the number of devices protected.
