Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is stable and scalable.""Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great.""The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure.""Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture.""Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution.""Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out.""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""Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."

"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.""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.""Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus is highly stable.""It never fails. Bitdefender always catches all of the viruses that have been detected on customer sites."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus Pros →

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things.""I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed.""Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC.""We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues.""Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures.""Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients.""It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."

More Huntress Pros →

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors.""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 SIEM could be improved.""To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""Detections could be improved.""FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting.""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."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Adding a feature like Data Loss Prevention would be beneficial.""The mobile version needs improvement.""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."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra Plus Cons →

"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications.""I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there.""In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards.""We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports.""One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures.""I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites.""Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved.""Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers. The customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    GravityZone Ultra Plus extends the endpoint-based threat detection capabilities of a traditional EDR by incorporating network incidents (XDR) to successfully counter advanced threats no matter where they emerge in the infrastructure: on the Endpoints, in the Network or in the Cloud.

    Hackers are constantly evolving, exploiting new vulnerabilities and dwelling in small business environments—until they meet Huntress. Discover the power of managed detection and response backed by ThreatOps.
