Choosing instead of Bitdefender Total Security
An alternative may fit better if $59.99 per year is too much, the VPN's 200 MB-per-day-per-device allowance is restrictive, or support for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS leaves out a needed platform. The choices below range from narrower protection and lower starting prices to Linux support, centralized cloud administration, business-device coverage, and larger device limits. Compare protection scope, controls, password management, administration, supported systems, and the number of devices you need before switching.
