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.
"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."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"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."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"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."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"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 solution is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"The interface could be improved."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
