We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Fortinet FortiClient 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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"I have found Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra to be highly scalable."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"It is very powerful."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"Starting from FortiGate and from the EMS server, you have to begin at the endpoint, and that's the most useful thing about using FortiClient."
"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 solution is not user-friendly."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"What's happening now in this field is artificial intelligence, the behavior part. That is now the trend in many products, including Bitdefender, and this is where the product needs improvement."
"The reporting is much too simple."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"They need to improve their encryption capabilities."
"The firewall security could be better."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The software itself is solid. It would be better if it was more of a real-time solution, like SentinelOne. The one thing that holds me back on the SentinelOne side is that I can blacklist websites and stuff like that, but it's not as granular as Bitdefender. With Bitdefender, I feel like I have more control over what I can whitelist and blacklist."
"Their ransomware remediation doesn't respond as fast as BullWall does...Ransomware control needs to be improved."
"I have yet to find the benefits of the latest upgraded version."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
