We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and Malwarebytes 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 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"
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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 a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The stability is very good."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"It was easy to set up."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR's installation is straightforward."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the EDR and the complete feature set provided."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"The protection is really good with Malwarebytes. It's also user friendly and quite easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The most valuable features of Malwarebytes are the agents, user experience, efficiency of the findings, and MDR features."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"Using this product requires quite a bit of training, which is hard to get."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"Notifications are lacking."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine."
"They could come up with better reporting capabilities."
