Bitdefender (bitdefender.com), a global security leader, today announced that technology authority PCMag (pcmag.com), has ranked the company number one on its highly coveted “Best Brands for 2024” list of technology manufacturers. PCMag rated Bitdefender ahead of the industry’s best-known names based on an index that combines customer satisfaction scores with the magazine’s product review evaluations.
“We are honored that a world-renowned publication considers us the top technology brand on a list that includes Apple, Sony, Google, Samsung and other category-defining top performers,” said Florin Talpes, co-founder and CEO of Bitdefender. “To have readers and product reviewers highly recommend Bitdefender so enthusiastically shows deep trust in our ability to protect digital assets from cybercrime. Our focus remains squarely on delivering innovation that guards digital lifestyles incorporating antivirus, identity protection, and privacy solutions as the attack surface evolves.”
To compile its list of 25 top technology brands, PCMag started with 679 contenders that it had either reviewed products from or collected Net Promoter Scores (NPS) from over the past 12 months. Bitdefender topped the list based on four reviews and NPS scores from the magazine’s survey on antivirus and security suites.
A perfect 5-star score for the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus product review and two 4.5 scores for Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac and Bitdefender Premium Security reflect the strength of the company’s solutions in the marketplace. Bitdefender also earned the highest NPS scores, measuring overall satisfaction and willingness to recommend the solution, in three reader survey categories: Security Suites for Home, Android Antivirus, and iOS/iPadOS Antivirus. PCMag summarizes Bitdefender’s Security Suites for Home as follows: “Bitdefender, a frequent favorite among PCMag readers, receives very high satisfaction ratings from our respondents on several measures, helping it return to the top of the charts this year.”
