We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Tanium 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."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"This is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"It is scalable."
"Just the ability to do a lot more than just up-down is nice, which a lot of people take for granted."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to 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."
"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."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"The reporting could be improved."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"They could improve the UI."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
