We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra and Crowdstrike Falcon based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Because Bitdefender offers fewer features and offers weaker support, Crowdstike Falcon ultimately wins out in this comparison.
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The stability is very good."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"Great protection against malware, ransomware, and any other forms of malicious software."
"The setup was easy."
"The performance is great."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The interface could be improved."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The pricing should be improved. The user interface has been improved on a yearly basis. The key issue is that they need to look at their pricing."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
