We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response 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."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 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 firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The performance is great."
"It's hard to pick just one valuable feature as almost all of the main features are very useful. However, the ability to manage it centrally and have detailed control over settings, exceptions and other configurations is extremely beneficial."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR needs to be more stable."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"I haven't had a problem with its stability yet. Since we deployed it, we haven't had one computer instance where we had to reimage the computer due to the virus."
"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."
"It is stable."
"The solution does all that we expect it to do."
"The pricing is pretty reasonable."
"The most valuable feature is that the same agent can act as the endpoint detection and response agent."
"The solution has great blocking features."
"The solution does its job with no issues."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable features of Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response are its immediate response and investigation."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Detections could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"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."
"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 SIEM could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"The only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"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."
"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."
"The interface has many issues."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"I would like to see better scanning capabilities."
"While they are quite dynamic, they need to ensure they are detecting threats faster in the future to keep people safer."
"The interface is very complicated."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
"The GUI could be better."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
