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."NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"The solution is compatible with the cloud-native environment and they can adapt to it faster."
"The most valuable features are the speed, detail, and visualization. It has the latest standards."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"This product is easy to use."
"The admin capabilities are great."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The policies are easy to make and controlled by the Kaspersky Administrative Security Center, which comes at no additional costs."
"Especially the firewalling, I found useful, as you can control the applications and services on a granular level to tell them where they have access to or not."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The reporting feature is good. Also, the device control is good."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"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."
"Elastic Security could improve the documentation. It would help if they were more simple and clean."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"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."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"I would like more ways to manage permissions and restrict access to certain users."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"The solution is very draining on the computers at certain moments in its operation, excluding the scanning periods that make the computer unusable until finished. It is a balance between economic protection and client machine performance to our users."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
