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.
"It is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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 for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"The Ultra is a valuable feature."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"With Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra, we don't have to worry about our endpoints or attacks. Our security has become stronger. This has been a reliable solution for our company."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"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."
"The tool's graphical user interface is common and very friendly, making it an overall user-friendly product."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"What would make Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra better is if Bitdefender employed more firewall policies and added even more features to the product."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"In terms of improvement of the solution, it could have better features. For example, having a firewall within. This way we would only need one solution."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"The areas of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) could benefit from improvement in terms of how problems are reported and displayed. The way the problems are presented and the information provided could be improved."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
