Pros
"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.""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.""We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats.""The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration.""The solution was relatively easy to deploy.""The setup is pretty simple."

"I like that the tool is a bit simple to use. In terms of handling phishing and rate mitigation, it is quite good. The product is stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The solution is scalable. I rate it an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest. The initial setup is straightforward. I have seen a return on investment.""GravityZone provides information about over-the-air data flow, standalone application security, and the infrastructure architecture required to meet the standalone security requirements of the complete SaaS infrastructure.""The solution is the cheapest in the market.""The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use.""It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats.""The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy.""Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is efficient and lightweight. We have to do security audits every year and we saw how secure Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was, even the plan testers had difficulties taking control of a computer when it was protected. The solution was always rejecting the attacks of the test hackers, it has very good protection.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More GravityZone Business Security Pros →

"It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software.""The solution detects viruses very, very fast.""The solution has good performance.""The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system.""The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7.""Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication.""It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization.""The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."

More Norton Small Business Pros →

Cons
"ZTNA can improve latency.""I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution.""Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""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've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""The support needs improvement."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability.""There could be more security features included in the product.""Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions.""The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better.""Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs.""From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM.""Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us.""Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."

More GravityZone Business Security Cons →

"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times.""Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better.""One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling.""The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper.""The integration with Android devices needs enhancement.""I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup.""There's a need for enhanced security measures.""The solution’s stability could be improved."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.
