Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."

"The best thing about Bitdefender is that it has got top-notch features and it is not tied to specific countries like some other antivirus tools."

"I find Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus to be a pretty good solution for the mid-level market, specifically for organizations with up to two hundred fifty users. I like that it is an averagely priced solution. It also has a straightforward installation that can be completed within three to five minutes. Its technical support is also good enough."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable."

"The threat detection rates are exceptionally good, better than most of the competition."

"It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."

"The solution has best-in-breed technology and scores very highly on efficacy rates."

"The quarantine computer functionality is very good for me."

"FortiXDR is valuable for its integration capabilities with one hundred percent compatibility with other vendors in cloud environments like Google, Oracle, and Microsoft."

"The product is stable enough."

"Our customers are satisfied with FortiXDR."

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is its ability to block clients, providing comprehensive endpoint protection."

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is it integrates well with other Fortinet solutions, such as Fortinet firewall, FortiMail, FortiSandbox, Forti Fabric, switches, and access points. Whatever the flow of the traffic comes in or goes out, the entire traffic can be managed and monitored properly."

"The most valuable feature of FortiXDR is its ability to block clients, providing comprehensive endpoint protection."

"FortiXDR is valuable for its integration capabilities with one hundred percent compatibility with other vendors in cloud environments like Google, Oracle, and Microsoft."

Cons

"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial."

"I would like automatic issue fixing for users without needing to physically open the PC. I'd prefer updates and fixes from the cloud to avoid headaches and save time."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform. Some feedback has been about the deletion of other software not going smoothly during the installation of Bitdefender, particularly the removal of previous software like Sophos."

"The solution must improve its management features."

"The solution seems to be pretty amateur for an EDR solution, and it should be more in sync in terms of features, with solutions such as FireEye and SentinelOne."

"The mobile version needs improvement."

"Some customers would like additional features that aren't available through the current GravityZone platform."

"The pricing of FortiXDR should be improved. It's a point of concern for us."

"Improvement is needed in the intuitiveness and integration measures of FortiXDR, especially in terms of compatibility."

"Many of the solutions, such as CrowdStrike have an MDR solution where remediation can be provided by the vendor. For example, if there is any zero data threat found, a new threat that the customer is not able to recognize, fix, or understand what needs to be done this feature has to be added in FortiXDR so that the customer feels comfortable."

"The pricing of FortiXDR should be improved."

"They could change their licensing costs to make it more affordable for smaller businesses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus. The price of the solution is reasonable but could be better."

"It's a very good price for MSP. It's cheaper than Symantec."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is pretty average, meaning it's not cheaper, but it's pretty good. It has average pricing."

XDR Defined and Explained
Extended detection and response (XDR) is a natural extension of the endpoint detection and response (EDR) concept, in which behaviors that occur after threat prevention controls act are further inspected for potentially malicious, suspicious, or risky activity that warrant mitigation. The difference is simply the location (endpoint or beyond) where the behaviors occur.
