"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Detections could be improved."
"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"
"This solution is very hard to implement."
"One limitation of Elastic Security is that it does not have built-in workflows for all tasks. For example, if you need a workflow for compliance, you will need to create a custom workflow."
"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."
"With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"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."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"There are some issues with EDR's web policy blocking sites that are marked as exceptions."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert needs to include a traffic interface."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
