We compared CylancePROTECT and Bitdefender GravityZone EDR across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is the preferred product over CylancePROTECT as it offers comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities, leveraging machine learning, behavior-based analysis, and real-time monitoring. Users praise its intuitive user interface, easy deployment, and efficient threat-hunting features. It also provides seamless integration with other security tools, making it a flexible and reliable choice for businesses of all sizes.
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively 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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra has many features, such as VPN, web filtering, and email filtering. The product has many good reviews, and I like how straightforward it is to implement. It's also easy to access and use."
"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."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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 tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The setup was easy."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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"
"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."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"The interface could be improved."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It is hard to manage."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
