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.
"The stability is very good."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"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."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"Sandbox Analyzer, HyperDetect, and EDR are valuable to our customers."
"The installation is straightforward."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The support needs improvement."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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 it's making the machines run slow."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"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."
"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 would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
