We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response 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."I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The Detection vulnerability is very effective."
"The security is good."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"The most valuable features of this product include network isolation for machines and the ability to work with a consistent and defined set of virtual machines."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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 solution is not user-friendly."
"The solution is not stable."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"The firewall security could be better."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"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."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"A significant deterioration in customer support."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"In the future, it would be nice to have playbooks in the tool, to allow for some of the common activities to be automated. For example, some of the scannings of the malware can be too manual for a specific device. Additionally, a vulnerability manager would be beneficial."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
