"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"I like that it's a SIEM platform. I like that I can sell Elastic Security quickly. Elastic Security has a large community that can support users."
"The cost is reasonable. It's not overly pricey."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"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."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"In terms of what could be improved with Elastic, in some use cases, especially on the advanced level, they are not ready made, so you'll have to write some scripts."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The solution could also use better dashboards. They need to be more graphical, more matrix-like."
