More Malwarebytes Pros →

Cons
"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.""Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection.""The support needs improvement.""We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments.""The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud.""The SIEM could be improved.""It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations.""Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."

More Fortinet FortiEDR Cons →

"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs.""When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated.""The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite was a little complex. It's not for the average home user. You need to know what you're doing and understand what you're doing. During the deployment, it took us approximately an hour and a half to understand fully the way we wanted it to be set up, and then from there, it wasn't too bad.""Technical support could always be improved.""The reporting functionality is quite minimal, and there are no alerts available. We are missing email encryption capabilities. We’ve also faced a few minor issues with the solution’s scalability.""There could be more security features included in the product.""The support from Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could be better.""Its performance can be better. It doesn't work very well for ransomware. That's why we are trying to evaluate other products."

More GravityZone Business Security Cons →

"Malwarebytes should improve its mobile compatibility.""Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen.""Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability.""Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives.""We have noticed that when the solution is doing the scanning, all the scanning activities make the device heavier. It slows down your machine.""They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor.""It's not good in search hunting.""Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."

  • "It is expensive."
  • "The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."

We've got between 30 and 40 licenses every year, and for the number of licenses that we have, we're finding that Malwarebytes on average costs between $900 and $1,000 more per year than comparable options.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Fortinet FortiEDR users.

    An Owner at a security firm says, "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 customer has literally about 800 cash registers. That was the use case for Fortinet FortiEDR - to get that down into a tiny space. The only way to do that was to use this product because it had that ability to unbundle services that were a surplus.”

    Chandan M., Chief Technical Officer at Provision Technologies LLP, mentions, “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.” He also adds, “The security is also very good and the firewall response is good.”

    Harpreet S., Information Technology Support Specialist at Chemtrade Logistics, explains, "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."

    DeAndre V., Senior Network Administrator at a financial services firm, states, “The dashboard is easy to follow and use. The deployment and uninstalling were easy. I like the detailed information about the path of a file that might be suspicious. Being able to check that out was easy to follow. Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance.

    GravityZone Business Security is much more than a business antivirus software. Here is why:

    1. It ensures complete protection against all types of malware: ransomware, phishing, zero-day attack, viruses, spyware, etc.

    2. It uses multiple machine learning techniques, behavioral analysis, and continuous monitoring of running processes to keep up with the latest threats.

    3. Everything is available in a single, easy-to-use platform for all your devices: desktops, laptops, physical and virtual servers, allowing you to choose between a cloud or an on-premise hosted management console.
