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."The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and firewall policies. The runtime scans and execution have been beneficial to our business."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"If there are multiple alerts, the app will automatically create and rate an event instead of going through each one."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"The tool's use cases are relevant to security."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"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."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"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."
"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."
"Occasionally websites are unnecessarily blocked due to monitoring software on those sites."
"I would like to see some additional features related to email protection included."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."
"Traps doesn't work with McAfee. You need to remove McAfee to install Traps. This is very common, and its nothing that should be an issue. Some antivirus engines recognize Traps as an threat component, so maybe they need to shake hands somewhere."
"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around. In the hotel industry, we use a different type of data versus Oracle and SQL. By default, there are some policies which stop us from running properly. Because of this, the support level is also not that strong. We have to wait to get a results."
"There are some third-party solutions that are difficult to integrate with, which is something that can be improved."
"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."
