We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Symantec Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The visualization is very good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"There are no issues with scalability."
"Can detect and prevent attacks that are exploring common software vulnerabilities."
"It is a solid antivirus security product."
"The solution detects malware very well."
"The most valuable feature of Symantec Endpoint Security is the protection of our systems."
"The solutions' main features are patch management and security."
"This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection."
"The solution is easy to use"
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"With Elastic, you have to build the use cases for the specific requirement. Other products have a simple integration and more use cases to integrate out-of-the-box solutions for SIEM."
"Elastic Security's maintenance is hard and its scalability is a challenge. There are complications in scaling and upgrading. The solution needs to also provide periodic upgrade checks."
"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 would be better if Elastic Security had less storage for data. My customers do not like this. Other vendors have local support in different countries, but Elastic Security doesn't. I would like to have Operational Technology (OT) security in the next release."
"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."
"Symantec's application security module needs some improvement. You need to create a lot of fingerprints for application security. For instance, let's say I have different brands of ATMs in my environment, like Wincor and NCR. I use GRG to deploy an application control to whitelist some applications. I have to get the exact image of the different models of ATMs. When I tested in the past, some machines would not connect to the server without that."
"The support needs to be better. When we upgrade, we can run into issues, and it's hard to get the help we require."
"Sometimes tech support is a bit slow to find a solution."
"After selling this product, what we have observed is that the system gets slower, which is a major issue."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Maybe Symantec Endpoint Security could amend their pricing structure, but they always offer a good product."
"It's not cheap."
"The device can be outdated. More enhancement of network and discovery would help already great features."
