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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"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"
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"It is scalable."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."
"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"There's lots of very useful documentation online to help troubleshoot and learn about the product."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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"
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"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."
"I think because we are a cybersecurity company, the thing that can be improved is the prebuilt tools, especially quality. Compared to its competitor, they still have fewer prebuilt security rules. Elastic Security, in terms of generating alerts, cannot group the same products into one another. Even though the alerts are the same, they still generate them one by one. So, it is very noisy in our dashboard. I would like the Elastic Security admin to group all the same alarms into one alarm so that our dashboard is not noisy."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
