"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"It was easy to set up."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"The performance is great."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The most valuable asset is the time-lining capability for any breach activity."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"There's lots of very useful documentation online to help troubleshoot and learn about the product."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"The firewall security could be better."
"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 node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
