"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is more flexible than AlienVault."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"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 solution is very scalable. It just depends on the number of licenses an organization has. The enterprise management console is related to the number of clients, and the client interface itself is free to download."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"It is very powerful."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"If the documentation were improved and made more clear for beginners, or even professionals, then we would be more attracted to this solution."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"We had issues with scalability. Logstash was not scaling and aggregation was getting delayed. We moved to Fluentd making our stack from ELK to EFK."
"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."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"One thing they could add is a quick step to enable users who don't have a solid background to build a dashboard and quickly search, without difficulty."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
