We compared CylancePROTECT and Bitdefender GravityZone EDR across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is the preferred product over CylancePROTECT as it offers comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities, leveraging machine learning, behavior-based analysis, and real-time monitoring. Users praise its intuitive user interface, easy deployment, and efficient threat-hunting features. It also provides seamless integration with other security tools, making it a flexible and reliable choice for businesses of all sizes.
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"One of the most valuable features is the signature updating in near real-time."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"It is stable."
"The advanced direct control on offer is excellent."
"What I have found to be valuable is after every new release of the solution there are more features. At the time that we bought Bitdefender GravityZone, it was their top solution. We went from their Enterprise version to Elite, Elite HD, Ultra, and now there is an Ultra Plus available."
"If you detect a virus, you can isolate the PC from the network and prevent access to the internet, network and routers. Once fixed, you can give access back to the client. We have not had this functionality using other solutions."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The outreach from support was a bit bad according to their plan, but we've got two people here that manage and support GravityZone and interact with them and they manage it very well."
"The graphical user interface for EDR could be improved."
"The solution is sometimes resource-intensive."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"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."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"The interface could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is the dashboard of the cloud console, where we manage security policies and groupings. It needs to be more flexible and informative."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
