📬 Feature Request Text:
Hello Bitdefender team,
As a new user evaluating the Ultimate Family Extended Pack for home use—after transitioning from Windows Defender—I was surprised to find that patch management and automation are not included in the consumer offerings.
Given the critical role of timely updates in maintaining security across operating systems, applications, and firmware, I believe patch automation should be a core feature in Bitdefender’s home plans like it is for businesses. Manual patching introduces unnecessary risk and friction, especially for families managing multiple devices.
Suggested enhancement:
- Integrate patch management into the Ultimate Family Pack and other consumer tiers.
- Allow users to schedule or automate OS and third-party app updates.
- Provide a dashboard view of patch status across devices, similar to GravityZone’s functionality.
I understand this feature is currently available only in GravityZone, but extending it to consumer plans would significantly enhance Bitdefender’s value proposition for privacy-conscious and security-focused households.
Thanks for considering this!
—Wilhelm
