We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Elastic Security 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."This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"It has a great ability to detect threats and keep us safe."
"We were under an attack in our environment, and the Check Point response was good because we didn't lose anything."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"We like Elastic Security because it's a REST API-based solution. That's the primary reason we use it."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"It is scalable."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"ELK is open-source, and it will give you the framework you need to build everything from scratch."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The web filter service could be improved."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"There should be a simulation environment to check whether my Elastic implementation is functioning perfectly fine. Other solutions have their own Android and iOS applications that I can install on my mobile so that I am continuously connected to the SIEM."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
