We performed a comparison between Bitdefender GravityZone EDR and WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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 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"
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The performance is great."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"One strong point is that it doesn't have many background services running on the Windows system or server operating system. This minimizes impact because it's a lighter version."
"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"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."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"When you download the executable file from the internet, it automatically sandboxes to make sure it's not doing anything incorrectly."
"The interface is very good."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation of logs from different devices."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"The protection that it provides from ransomware is valuable. The awareness that it has is also valuable. It didn't have a central console earlier, but now it has a central console, which is pretty good."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"There is a need to work on the deployment, when it comes to deploying to Windows machines with regards to downloading the size of the package."
"There was a bit of a problem deploying."
"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."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation added, in particular for servers."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra should include more advanced features than their competitors in the market for the auto-detection of viruses and threats within the environment."
"Other solutions are cheaper than GravityZone."
"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."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"It can have a couple of false positives, but after you add them to your allow list, it works fine. It could have better Mac support. I am pretty sure it doesn't have much support for Mac. It can be installed on a Mac, but it is not that good."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The ease of detecting where an issue is should be improved."
"The interface is not the best."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
