We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform 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."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."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"It is stable."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"I like GravityZone's short implementation time. It takes only a day, at most."
"We use ESET, which is pretty much perfect for us. It is also absolutely simple and automatic once setup."
"They do a program where you can renew for three years. It's very reasonable, as far as the cost per year, because you can renew for three years. They will also do multiple computers, so I actually protect all my family computers, as well as my work computers, all under one license. This means I only have to deal with re-upping my license once every three years. That's the big thing for me."
"If it detects ransomware or something, it can isolate that computer."
"The most valuable features of ESET Endpoint Antivirus are that it is lightweight, it will not take up too much CPU and memory of the server or workstation. The detection is good and easy to use."
"It's a very user-friendly product."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"All of our devices are integrated with the solution."
"The support needs improvement."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"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 on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I didn't see any from ESET Endpoint Security because what's important is that it works as an antivirus solution. I do find its pricing expensive here in Hungary, so if the price could be lower, that would be good. ESET Endpoint Security is an antivirus, so it only needs to stop the virus. If it had other features, I wouldn't need it. Every program or solution has specific functions and in this case, ESET Endpoint Security is worth it as an antivirus, though in the next release of the solution, it would be better if there's some improvement in its antivirus database."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"I think that ESET is a little too heavy on the CPU."
"The integration capabilities might be lacking a bit."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"The solution includes only Intrusion Detection and not IPS, which is an important feature that is missing in my version."
"The product’s AI implementation feature could be better for learning user behavior."
"The proactive feature is excellent, but I do not believe ESET will make any changes to this feature in the future."
