Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) 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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"This is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The visualization is very good."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"It's very customizable, which is quite helpful."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"The stability could be improved."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"We are paying dearly for the guy who is working on the ELK Stack. That knowledge is quite rare and hard to come by. For difficulty and availability of resources, I would rate it a five out of 10."
"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."
"I would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"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)."
"Elastic Security has a steep learning curve, so it takes some time to tune it and set it up for your environment. There are some costs associated with logging things that don't have value. So you need to be cautious to only log things that make sense and keep them around for as long as you need. You shouldn't hold onto things just because you think you might need them."
