This protects them from any threats.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""I like FortiClient EMS.

The product also has sandboxing features."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Pros →

"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection.""The initial setup is a very fast process.""There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all.""The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed.""The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution.""It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff.""The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon.""The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its ease of use.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is efficient and lightweight. We have to do security audits every year and we saw how secure Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was, even the plan testers had difficulties taking control of a computer when it was protected. The solution was always rejecting the attacks of the test hackers, it has very good protection.""The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware.""It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats.""The ease of deployment via our RMM tool has been good.""The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy.""Offers network security protection.

More GravityZone Business Security Pros →

Cons
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later.""The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs.""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""There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""ZTNA can improve latency."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection.""This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution.""CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system.""Too many false positives.""CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors.""Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply.""CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API.""It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad.""Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products.""Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions.""When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated.""There could be more security features included in the product.""Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs.""The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability.""If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    CrowdStrike Falcon offers advanced threat detection, real-time visibility, easy interface, and responsive customer support. It enhances workflow and efficiency, promotes collaboration, streamlines processes, and boosts productivity. With features like incident response options, customizable alerts, and proactive threat hunting, it helps protect organizations from malware and ransomware attacks.

    GravityZone Business Security is much more than a business antivirus software. Here is why:

    1. It ensures complete protection against all types of malware: ransomware, phishing, zero-day attack, viruses, spyware, etc.

    2. It uses multiple machine learning techniques, behavioral analysis, and continuous monitoring of running processes to keep up with the latest threats.

    3. Everything is available in a single, easy-to-use platform for all your devices: desktops, laptops, physical and virtual servers, allowing you to choose between a cloud or an on-premise hosted management console.
