Comparison Results: GravityZone Ultra is the winner in this comparison. It is a secure and powerful solution and received higher marks than Sophos in both the deployment and pricing categories. In addition, it has a proven ROI.
"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."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more 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."
"The installation is straightforward."
"You can analyze any incident or malicious behavior. You can take action from within the EDR, and it can assist you in understanding how the attack was initiated or any malicious behavior in your environment."
"The setup was easy."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"Since it's cloud-managed, the solution is easy to administer, especially if the person using it is in a different geophysical location."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We use Sophos Intercept X for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in our organization."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The solution is not stable."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Detections could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"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 areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"The product can be improved by identifying errors."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"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."
"The one thing I'd say about their complete MDR product is that it's too expensive, which is why I prefer to use an alternative SOC and integrate Bitdefender to a different SOC on their own."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"The ADR functionalities feel like they aren't mature enough. It hasn't been a long time since Sophos has offered reproduction. Due to the fact that it's so young, it has fewer functionalities than other and more mature ADR solutions."
"We are not able to merge the sub-estates. If we create multiple sub-states and there may be instances where a user is in a different sub-state, it may not be possible for us to relocate that user from one sub-state to another through the console. We have to merge them manually which is not ideal."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability and updates."
"We would like more application control in order to be able to schedule times and access."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"The solution can be expensive, although we do see the value in it."
"The after sales service and support could be improved."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
