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."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"The EDR product is simple to install. It is low maintenance. All the alerts go to Huntress first, and their analyst team reviews them and sends actionable things our way."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"An area for improvement in Elastic Security is the pricing. It could be better. Right now, when you increase the volume of logs to be collected, the price also increases a lot."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
