We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra and Sophos Intercept X based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: GravityZone Ultra is the winner in this comparison. It is a secure and powerful solution and received higher marks than Sophos in both the deployment and pricing categories. In addition, it has a proven ROI.
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"The tool alerts about lateral internet movements."
"It is stable."
"The best feature for our customers is the ransomware feature. It is very fresh and powerful. Bitdefender also has a feature called Ransomware Vaccine. With this feature, when a file from the ransomware is encrypted Bitdefender can revert it back to the original file. It automatically decrypts the file and puts the ransom in quarantine."
"The solution is probably one of the top five, best security solutions on the market at the moment."
"It is easy to scale and it is suitable for organizations from small businesses to enterprise."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use and simple, meaning it's not much complicated."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"One of the best use cases involves synchronized security staff, which allows us to manage both the firewall and the anti-virus features from the cloud."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"The most valuable features are the cloud administration and the strength of the ransomware protection."
"It is easy to interact with, and its cost is also good."
"We find the app control and its threat protection to be the best features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"The solution has very good usability."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"There's room for improvement in terms of protection. That's my primary concern."
"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 only problem we have, and I don't know if maybe it's the package we bought, is that it lacks the parts of data protection and application blacklisting."
"For many, the problems come mostly when they start tweaking or short-cutting - particularly for patch management."
"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."
"The firewall security could be better."
"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."
"In the future, maybe this will need to morph into AI threat intelligence."
"Intercept X needs more reporting and device management features, so I can get messages from PCs that let me know if I need to do something with them."
"Technical support can be improved. There could be shared support, i.e. where someone in Egypt can respond."
"Sophos has a lot of different features. Some of them are tied to different clients, which may mean that different prices or licenses have to be added on. It can be a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with the logic of how they work. They can make it a little bit clearer."
"I'm not clear on what features need improvement. Everything is mostly fine."
"This solution is not in the high ratings on many of the top review sites. This solution has to be near the top for me to continue using it."
"Mobile device management is a challenging area, and it can be improved. Some areas in the DLP solution can also be improved. It has the DLP capability, but it is not an all-out DLP program. I would like to see them improve the DLP solution in terms of reporting and possibly network monitoring. Currently, they only do the reporting parts of it."
"The product defends very well on its own but could possibly use enhancement in giving users more controls."
"It should offer better security updates."
