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."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."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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"
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"The solution has all the standard features you would expect for endpoint protection."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"They have a great knowledge base that you can leverage as a user."
"The level of security and visibility they provide is great and it is very easy to configure and maintain."
"The platform's most valuable features are the ability to build API, which meets our business requirements, and the VPN client, which provides VPN access from a single client."
"The most valuable feature is forensics."
"Deploying new versions of the endpoint are easy."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"Elastic is straightforward, easy to integrate, and highly customizable."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"It can handle millions of loads at a time, and you can always use the filters to find exactly what you are looking for and detect errors in every log message you are searching for, basically."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"There was a learning curve for our general population of employees (the user)."
"Check Point needs to work in areas like branding and other value propositions to make products stand out in the market despite the solutions being more affordable than the ones offered by competitors."
"They could improve memory consumption."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."
"Sometimes, the Cloud Management Portal can become unresponsive or take a long time to process a query. This in turn will cause the browser to freeze, which will require closing and reopening of your browser."
"Technical support could respond faster."
"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."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
