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 setup is pretty simple."
"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"
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is a stable solution. My company has not received any complaints regarding the product's stability from our customers who use the solution."
"It's pretty complete for preventing threats to endpoints. Its capabilities are great."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"The most important characteristic of our requirements was the implementation of disk encryption."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"The solution has good threat intelligence features."
"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."
"ELK documentation is very good, so never needed to contact technical support."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"It's open-source and free to use."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"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"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The support needs improvement."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Configuration with some applications did not take place effectively due to setup complications."
"Some of the less tech-savvy users sometimes find it difficult in adjusting and learning how to use the platform."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"In terms of improvement, the ticketing system could be better. It is a little tricky to try to open a case and give it to an engineer."
"I would like to see them add features where we can use this license for mobile browsers, too."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"The patch management and upgrades are not timely."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"There are connectors to gather logs for Windows PCs and Linux PCs, but if we have to get the logs from Syslog then we have to do it manually, and this should be automated."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"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."
