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."Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It was easy to set up."
"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."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The technical support is very good. They have an Indian support team, so there are no delays in receiving support."
"The firewall, malware, and anti-virus protection have earned its keep in times past by catching the unexpected."
"It's customizable, we're able to tune it to work with our products."
"The valuable features are device control, SONOR, and anti-virus."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"It's a robust product."
"Device control is most valuable. Symantec is providing all such features in the basic plan, whereas when we last checked, such a feature was not available in the basic plan of Malwarebytes."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"We find it's making the machines run slow."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"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."
"The firewall security could be better."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"Installation of the tool on a workstation requires some technical knowledge, which could be more straightforward."
"They lack the visibility you get in a heuristical, artificial, AI type of product, like a next-gen antivirus."
"It would be perfect if it is capable of detecting or checking ransomware."
"If there is a suspicious file, it is put into a sandbox where Symantec does an analysis. After the analysis, Symantec marks the file as a risk, but it doesn't blacklist or block the file. If a file is already known to be harmful, I would like them to automatically block or blacklist it to reduce the damage."
"The whitelisting feature does not work as expected."
"I would like to see fileless attack protection."
"The spam filter is something that you can't control, and you can't set the filter to intercept different types of emails."
"The agent shouldn't use up so many resources at the endpoint when scanning and protecting."
