It is not clear-cut answer.

Bitdefender adds less to system reboot. Kaspersky much longer reboot.

Bitdefender uses about 200 to 300 MB RAM.

Bitdefender requires more advanced IT knowledge to solve problems when it issues occur.

Kaspersky has much better protections - much. Bitdefender needs supplement like NVT ERP because it is weak against some malicious scripts.

Bitdefender is good for laptop; has low battery mode.

Kaspersky is good for desktop and probably the best IS suite for family.

Kaspersky, overall, provides better protections. It has long system reboot. Otherwise, it uses low system resources during work at desktop.

BItdefender can be buggy. If you do not know how to fix problems on your own, then it can be quite frustrating.

Overall, Kaspersky provides better user experience.

System impact.
I have tested BIS 2016 and It's light enough on performance during normal use, PC slows down while scanning and slightly on boot.
Regarding tests performed on the previous version of KIS, it's always heavy.

Bitdefender is full of bugs. Stay away from it.

Depends on what system you have, the best answer is to try on your system. You should also check ESET.

Kaspersky is in my Top 3 favorite products.

Would the hybrid shutdown* affect the performance of security software? If you have a powerful system, no other conflicting software then I don't see why you cannot use either.

*Applies to Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

I know what those tests say...

AV-Test generates those results by using the softs in a specific manner. If you use those softs, you will very likely experience something quite different.

AV-Test doesn't measure system reboot time - only system start up time. They are two different things.

There's a lot of hidden details as to how the arrive at their results. You have to carefully read their test methodology.

Any how, all that matters is what you experience on your specific system. You can use lab tests only as a guide line and not a definitive answer.

I voted BITDEFENDER lighter.

As said above, KAPERSKY is more stable though.

Well its a reference basis however those possible results may occur localized.

However from analyzing those histories of system impact performance then Bitdefender may have an edge compare to Kaspersky.

For protection still a case to case basis.

System impact i definitely will say both of them because in the past Kaspersky used to be a heavy antivirus that is good to run at a high end machine but not on a low end machine, and right now BitDefender join into the game. But for Kaspersky right now at the moment i don't know if they are heavy or not since i stop use them after 2005 or so.

 

[omidomi]

in 2015 yup Kaspersky is a little heavy but in 2016 version i said kaspersky is better(but bitdefender stay buggy and no change )

I have used KIS 2016 once. And i have to say that you wont have to sacrifice your speed for your Protection with it.
I don't know which one offers better security.
I have heard that Bitdefender signatures are one of the best as many other Products(ex.emsisoft, F-Secure, Quihoo etc.) use their engine.

 

[jamescv7]

@Rajat: Well its an coincidence since Bitdefender engine are easy to access for testing purpose (SDK available) and agreements to license unlike other offers from other security company.

Bitdefender = WinSOFT. WinSOFT make more monies from licensing engine than selling Bitdefender softs. So WinSOFT create and release SDK.

I think Bitdefender in the boot is more fast, but very many resources consumed in analysis, Karpersky at boot is much more slow, that bothers me a bit but nothing happens.
