"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration.""It is very easy to configure and deploy.""The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus.""It takes lesser energy from the system than the rest. So, we tried it for five years, and it works quite well. So we have continued with it. And the pricing is competitive as well.""Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature.""The installation is easy and it takes approximately a few hours. We are deploying it from a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tool. All you need to do is click on it and the installation is complete.""The most valuable feature is the IDS.""When it comes to the web, according to our customers, this product stands out due to its superior performance compared to others."

"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs.""CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems.""I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector.""All the features are beneficial.""The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities.""I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point.""I like the detection rates of mobile threats.""The initial setup is a very fast process."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""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.""The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection.""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""I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control.""The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable.""The solution's stability could be better.""The price has increased marginally recently and I would prefer if they didn't raise rates.""There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7.""The dashboard can be improved.""Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance.""The risk management tool does not have reporting, which I feel to be a huge mistake."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security Cons →

"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement.""I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine.""CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection.""For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible.""Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing.""The performance could be better.""The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool.""They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."

    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.
