We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"Bitdefender is a well-supported platform."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"It was easy to set up."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."
"The solution doesn't need a high level of technical training."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"Provides behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks should be a stable solution."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"The stability of this product is very good."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The solution is not stable."
"Detections could be improved."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"Every 30 or 40 days, there's a new version and we need to go and make sure our customer's laptops are upgraded."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Limited remote connection."
"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"Managing the product should be easier."
