We saw time to value within two weeks of implementing the solution, which strengthened our use cases
We use FortiAI, FortiSIEM, and FortiEDR Fortinet helped us scale large-scale deals with clients because of its strong offerings. Fortinet is very straightforward to use. I have access to a lot of technical resources, and I have been able to use them effectively. Fortinet has helped free up around…

A secure solution with quick upload and update capabilities
A good thing with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security is that the default policy cannot be tampered with or changed. You can clone the default policy, remember it and then deploy it. You will always have a backup copy of any policy the Bitdefender user defines. In addition, a great part of…

Offers URL filtering and protection against phishing
The zero-trust application service that WatchGuard EPDR runs is good. If there aren't any matches for a signature or a file, the solution will initially run them on a sandbox and determine if it is secure to run it in the environment. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it is done with AI, while only one percent of the time, it takes less than twenty-four hours for human intervention. You get a good experience with the tool, but sometimes it can be a bit stressful because the tool doesn't have the signatures to run it, making the product take twenty minutes instead of five minutes, but it is good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security has a lot of telemetry that allows me to really see what's going on with the device."
"It is very easy to configure and deploy."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Security for malware and threats is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security are remote administration and deployment, comprehensive firewall protection, malware protection, and antivirus."
"Virus scan and the ability to remotely install are valuable features. Being able to manage everything in one place and set different policies and rules for different computer types are very useful features. It also has ransomware protection. It is very simple to use, and it is very effective."
"The product is a good standard security tool."
"Protection is the most valuable feature."
"The product's most valuable features are the zero-trust application service and its capability to detect threats and attacks."
"The reporting feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution is not stable."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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"
"There are compatibility concerns as Bitdefender does not support Windows 7."
"The live monitoring service from Bitdefender's center is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Machines with low memory and CPU may experience slow performance."
"We had experienced a crash and had to reinstall it."
"There is room for improvement in CPU utilization."
"I like the Application Control feature, but it's a bit tricky. Managing it can be a bit cumbersome sometimes."
"My main concern is that it's a bit heavy for some devices. Like Kaspersky or McAfee, it uses more RAM or memory. Similar to that, it causes issues for users and their own resources, similar to that. If you deploy on old legacy devices with only 1GB of RAM, then it could be a problem."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"The AV and scanning features could be a little bit better."
"The product is available at a very high price, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."

"In terms of the licensing costs associated with Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security, the agreement was made nearly three years ago, but from what I recall, the figure was around €6,000 to €7,000 for three years, including support for two hundred endpoints."
"The price is fair."
"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."
"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."
"The pricing is reasonable when I compare it to other security solutions, particularly Kaspersky, it stands out. It offers an excellent solution at a more favorable price point."
"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."
