We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and ESET Endpoint Protection Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is pretty simple."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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"
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"The solution's deployment is very easy and flexible."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"I have access to it from anywhere."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"The features that are most useful are the simplicity of deploying the package and the cryptosystem for managing all the situations on the computer."
"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."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"The administration is its most valuable feature as I can see all versions in one place."
"Advanced level endpoint firewall, which helps to block unwanted and malicious traffic."
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"It is absolutely invisible once running."
"The ability to push policies and also to restrict an installation or to restrict any form of threat within the policy has been quite useful."
"It rarely gets in the way, and we don't even notice it scanning."
"I rate ESET Endpoint Security eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up ESET can be straightforward or complicated depending on the customer's environment. The deployment time varies, but it's typically around five days. We have a team of four or five people involved in the deployment. Only one person is needed for maintenance. The only maintenance is adjusting the configuration of the dashboard."
"The tools and the features available with this solution are very competitive. It is always updated to prevent upcoming attacks."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"Bitfender could improve their modules on the server. For example, Bitdefender doesn't have content filters or firewall modules on the server. It would be great if it had a networking module and a content filter module at the workstations."
"We would like to see password management integrated into the solution because I don't like having a third-party password management system."
"The product fails to provide guides to its users...I want the tool to offer some guides and hands-on training that can guide users who want to learn more about the product without the vendor's help."
"This solution would be improved if it included antivirus functionality. You currently need to install a plug-in to Outlook for each email to be scanned."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus could improve the mobile device experience by having more coverage."
"I'm not aware of any areas that need improvement."
"We have experienced some problems with the actualization of some endpoints. We then have to manually reinstall the version on these endpoints."
"Its initial setup process could be more straightforward."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"The new versions only support no operative systems in Mac and do not support operative systems."
"After we did the initial setup of ESET Endpoint Security, we had to inform users about popups. This solution comes with an in-built software firewall and there can be some popups coming. We must tell the user not to keep, allow, or block anything. That is the main issue on the user side we have faced. The user's experience may not be as good."
"There are no areas for improvement. It does everything the consumer needs."
