"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."

"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The biggest feature out of CarbonBlack is its ability to dive in with more depth. You can look at the entire kill chain and understand, not only if an alarm or identified incident is truly a true security issue versus a false positive, and it allows us to backtrack and figure out why it actually happened and how it got into the environment."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
