We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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"
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"The nice thing about Bitdefender is that it has modules and layers that you can add as the requirement becomes more sophisticated and dangerous or threatening."
"The performance is great."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"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 is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The tool offers great detection. You need time only to setup the environment. After that, it is just plug-and-play to get the solution up and running. We can also control the PC remotely from the cloud and get all the information in one place."
"I have found ESET Endpoint Antivirus is light on system resources compared with other antivirus solutions that tend to be very heavy on the computers system resources. Additionally, the solution is very secure."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"Installing and integrating ESET Endpoint Antivirus was easy. It prevents worms, malware, and Trojans."
"I feel the solution to be beneficial in respect of features that I cannot find with SSTM's."
"This solution does not slow down your systems. It is very light."
"It can scale as well."
"It can block certain web pages that may contain viruses or pose a threat to the computer."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution is not stable."
"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 product can be improved by identifying errors."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"They were working on the encryption management for laptops, and if they complete it then it would be helpful."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"We would like to see a more advanced dashboard."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"I'm unsure as to if they could actually support a large enterprise."
"I suspect there will be some changes required to ESET because some experts I know just moved to MDR. I can imagine there might be some issues that were not fully covered by the ESET Endpoint that would be covered by MDR that we're on now."
"The tool needs to explore security possibilities to secure iOS and Mac devices."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"ESET Endpoint Security could improve EDR integration."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
