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."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"I like the indexing of the logs."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"The most valuable feature is that it detects and stops malicious executables."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The solution is stable."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The support needs improvement."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"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."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
