For vendor support, such as Fortra support, I would rate it a seven because all the support comes from different parts that sometimes have challenges meeting time zones, and sometimes they reroute to distributors and rely on partners.

Room For Improvement

The QUIC protocol, which is UDP-based and used by Facebook and WhatsApp, is a common demand from many clients.

When patching devices for updates, if a device is not switched on, it does not provide information dynamically.

Featured Reviews

HarshBhardiya - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Provides detailed event investigation and endpoint control but needs better Mac support and UI improvements
I find the advanced behavioral analytics feature in Bitdefender GravityZone EDR a little gimmicky, as I don't usually find much use for it. The advanced behavioral analytics feature needs to be optimized to be more user-friendly and easier to work with. We don't specifically look for the customizable dashboards within Bitdefender GravityZone EDR; rather, we get the logs on our SIEM solution, QRadar, where we have created the dashboards. We also have Tableau and Power BI, so we don't utilize any dashboards on the EDR front. I would like to optimize the incident response area as well, especially when comparing my experience with CrowdStrike, which is relatively more responsive and easier to navigate when there are multiple hosts involved. Other areas of improvement for Bitdefender GravityZone EDR include its lack of support for Mac devices.

Enterprise data protection has supported regulatory compliance and integrates with classification tools
In terms of functionality, many features are valuable in Digital Guardian, as the first thing for most customers is that they are using solutions such as Boldon James and Titus, which fall under the classification side, and Digital Guardian can easily integrate with this data classification solution and has a very granular level of configuration and policy tuning. Digital Guardian's data protection policies are indeed useful for my clients. Regarding Digital Guardian, I find it to be a very good solution, and in fact, it is an enterprise-level solution that has very tight integration with most of the products, with Fortra but also with others.
