We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response 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."Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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 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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"The visualization is very good."
"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 most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and has good support."
"The most valuable features of this product include network isolation for machines and the ability to work with a consistent and defined set of virtual machines."
"The solution is scalable."
"In Symantec, we have found that the most important feature is Application and Device Control."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to connect and global settings are good."
"I have had absolutely no problem with using this solution, it really works well."
"The interface is quite easy to use."
"The setup is quite easy."
"The support needs improvement."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Detections could be improved."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"Sometimes, the solution isn't the easiest to use."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"They do need to minimize the number of agents installed on a server."
"It would be nice to see more granular timeline analysis."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response could improve the reporting. It is very difficult to create reports from the user interface."
"Its UI could be more user-friendly."
"The Symantec portfolio is not big enough to cover the organization in all 360 degrees."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It is not possible to buy it from the company itself, or resellers in other countries. If it is available, I see that it is offered as part of a larger service. For me, this was not suitable."
