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."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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"
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"This is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"The performance is great."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"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."
"Easy to use solution."
"The most amazing qualities of Symantec Endpoint Protection is that it provides a total solution to all virus problems."
"I find it is the most reliable solution on the market."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"The firewall, IPS and device control are useful at protecting the environment."
"The solution can scale."
"The dashboard view and reporting are valuable. It is stable and easy to integrate, and it provides custom options."
"The most useful features are the antivirus, anti-spyware, and the firewall feature. It also provides application control and Host Integrity, which is a very unique feature."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The support needs improvement."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"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 solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"The monitoring capabilities could be further developed."
"It would be nice to have customized reports integrated on the main console with no additional DB server or BI server."
"Sometimes, when we are creating a new policy, some of the clients are not being updated with the latest policy."
"The support can be wanting. Sometimes the time to resolution is longer than I would expect."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"Since the division of the company, we have experienced a lack of support."
"Must push to EXE files to the endpoints."
"Symantec isn't good in terms of updating customers about updates. You'd normally have to search it out. Sometimes, the update process for the administration and management console can be a bit intimidating, and it can be quite inconvenient to get the updates. That's because when you have to do the update, you have to update the management console, and then you need to update the clients. Their application that's installed on desktops and servers needs to go hand in hand with the management console. Sometimes, it's a bit unwieldy to see that process through."
