Endpoint Protection in Practice: How Customers Use Bitdefender to Reduce Risk

Written by Daniel Daraban | May 05, 2026

How are organizations using the Bitdefender GravityZone Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) to reduce risk? Verified customers answer this question in the paragraphs below.

However, I'd like to begin with some context: Choosing an EPP today is about more than detection rates or feature checklists. It’s about how well a solution performs in real environments — from deployment and daily operations — to support, trust, and long-term confidence. And increasingly, a key part of endpoint protection is shrinking the attack surface to prevent an attack from gaining a foothold in the first place.

How Bitdefender Customers Are Reducing Risk

We believe feedback from verified customers is important for understanding how organizations use a cybersecurity platform and the security outcomes they achieve. According to the latest Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms report, Bitdefender is positioned in the Customers’ Choice quadrant, based entirely on reviews from verified end users.

In this evaluation, Bitdefender received a 4.8 out of 5.0 overall rating*, with 96% of reviewers indicating they would recommend the platform.* We feel this reflects consistently strong customer experience across industries, regions, and organization sizes.

More than an aggregate score, these verified reviews also reveal how customers are using Bitdefender GravityZone.

Here’s a look at some specific things customers are saying.

1. Customers Value Preemptive Security

Customer feedback increasingly highlights what we believe is an emerging priority for organizations: reducing the attack surface and limiting exposure before an attack can start.
