"It is stable."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."

"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"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."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"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 one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"The policies could be nicer to manage."
"We are considering switching from this solution as a result of the closer integration needed between the firewall systems and the EDR."
"Stability-wise, we had issues with some clients which had to be dealt with manually. The issue was with that installation part."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
