Bitdefender is Effective but Difficult to Use

Bitdefender provides a suite of tools that I use on my Mac to improve security. I use this service because it is less expensive than some competitors, but it is more difficult to use and requires a significant investment in time to learn how to implement the software effectively. The password manager has recently been significantly changed and now is called Securepass, but this change has made it much more difficult to use. The software does not seemlessly integrate on multiple devices without the investment of time setting each one up individually which is not necessary with some competitors. I think the software does work as advertised, but it is not user friendly and undergoes significant changes every couple of years which requires more learning to continue to use effectively. I am a physician in California and need to protect multiple Apple devices and have used Bitdefender for about 4 years. The payment plans are difficult to adjust and there is auto-renewal.
