We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Microsoft Defender XDR 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's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"The performance is great."
"The most valuable features are the solution's thorough detection and ease of use."
"The setup was easy."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit."
"Defender is easy to use. It has a nice console, and everything is all in one place."
"The most valuable feature depends on the scenario. For compliance, I like Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention. Sentinel is the most helpful feature for security. 365 Defender helps us prioritize threats across an enterprise. It's a crucial feature for the managed services team."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"Defender XDR has a feature called the timeline that lets you track all activities. It helps a lot with investigations."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"I would like to see a remote desktop for installed endpoints so administrators can see what is on a user's screen or what a user is doing."
"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."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"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."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"I would like more of the features in Defender for 365 to be included in the smaller licenses. Even if I buy a small license and don't need everything, security shouldn't be a question. Security is one of the main aspects of all projects from our side, so it would be nice to have more features in the smaller licenses."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"Advanced attacks could use an improvement."
"We should be able to use the product on devices like Apple, Linux, etc."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
