"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."

"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."
"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing.
