"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."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"It was easy to set up."
"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 of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"It is a very stable solution."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"We have clients who are also migrating from other anti-virus solutions to GravityZone because of the ease of use, ease of installation and the fact that it can be deployed in the cloud and the same software; you can actually install on other server or workstation. It automatically knows what it's protecting."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"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."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"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 would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
