We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Elastic Security 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."It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"It's a scalable product as it is a cloud offering."
"Data security analytics enable us to prepare and take suitable precautions before landing in trouble and exposing confidential information."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"Harmony Endpoint is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect the remote workforce from today's complex threat landscape."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"I can look at events from more than one source across multiple different locations and find patterns or anomalies. The machine learning capabilities are helpful, and I can create rules for notifications to be more proactive rather than responding after something has gone wrong."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"The performance is good and it is faster than IBM QRadar."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"The solution is quite stable. The performance has been good."
"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."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"The visualization is very good."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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"
"The patch management and upgrades are not timely."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint could improve by allowing it to work on older systems by reducing the system requirements. Since our systems are dated we can only use the antivirus module features."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"The price of the product could be more friendly."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."
"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"We'd like better premium support."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."
"It's a little bit of a learning curve to understand the logic of searching for things and trying to find what you're looking for in Elastic Security."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
