Battle Bitdefender Internet Security 2014 vs ESET Smart Security

[Manzai]

Hello

Eset vs Bitdefender ?

Bitdefender :

+ Great detection
+ Interface

- Probably Hight ram usage

ESET :

+ Low ram usage
+ Great detection

 

[bob974]

I use combo (eset SS7 + Webroot) and I like it... Great detection and the advanced setup of Eset gives many options.

Bitdefender does not allow users to modify all parameters. This is a 'popular' suite. So We have two different concepts...

Actually, ESET can take up pretty high amounts of RAM compared to other products.

 

[Nedim]

Easy choice for me: ESET

As I said somewhere Bitdefender must solve some chronic issues from the last couple of versions (PC slowdowns, ghost traffic , slow internet speed).

 

[BoraMurdar]

ESET for me
As Nedim said Bitdefender has some issues that pervade through last couple of versions and yes ESET can sometimes use >70mb of ram but it's superlight and superfast at detecting and removing threats. Really a superb piece of software

 

[MrExplorer]

My Choice: ESET SS

 

[SanAndreas]

Bitdefender = better signatures

 

[Malware1]

ESET, much better detection rate and interface

 

[Manzai]

I installed Eset, Thank you

 

[isuru1]

I think ESET is better

 

[Malware Security]

I reviewed both of them if you want to look at them, its under written reviews. Personally, i would recommend eset because before i became a linux user, eset saved my ass on a lot of downloads and it never slowed my pc down. Bitdefender is also fantastic, but it sometimes slows down the pc even though the ram is really low.

ESET products offer much better support to their paid customers and their products are more stable with less bugs and less false positives.

If you run into problems with BitDefender, good luck getting customer support, you will need a lot of luck.

For any paid product, customer support should be top priority.
Some totally free security products offer much better support than BitDefender which is really sad.

Thanks.

i recently uninstall my bis 2014...why?? because my internet doesn't want surf.so,i decided to uninstall and i getting back to surf.....

A lot of users swear by BIS being a good experience for them, but many others have had big trouble with it interfering with their online routine. It behaves as grayware for some. It has messed with one of my wireless internet drivers before. It was a pain to troubleshoot, and novices would have been calling out a tech to fix their stuff after the fact. There is nothing like paying a premium price for allegedly premium software, and then have to pay twice that so a tech can undo the damage it did to the average novice's system.
That said, if one over-tweaks something and bad things happen, that is on the user, not the vendor.

Absolute Nonsense.!

 

[xaxar21]

Both security solution are very good,but my personal choice is eset smart security.

 

[Overkill]

Actually, ESET can take up pretty high amounts of RAM compared to other products.

But unlike other products, you don't feel it

 

[Malware Man]

I actually find Bitdefender Windows 8 Security to work just fine. Unlike the Internet Security version which had slow scanning, messed up my wireless drivers and slowed down my laptop. With the Windows 8 version I had none of those issues. Right now it's sitting at 18MB of RAM with 3 processes.

But since this is about the internet security version then I'd defiantly go with Eset because Bitdefender Internet Security was a horrible experience for me and when I used Eset for a bit it worked just fine and gave me no issues.

But right now I am really happy with Bitdefender Windows 8 Security.

I'm sorry if this was off topic, but it was technically still about Bitdefender.

 

[ZeroDay]

I agree with Littlebits, Bitdefender's support is shocking.

Out of the two, I'd say ESS.

BD isn't my cup of tea.
