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."Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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"
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"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."
"The solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"The visualization is very good."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"We chose the product based on the ability to scan for malware using a malware behavioral model as opposed to just a traditional hash-based antivirus. Therefore, it's not as intensive."
"The admin capabilities are great."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a cost-effective solution."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."
"Easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate."
"The product is quite scalable."
"Setting up Kaspersky is easy, but it requires two or three core members from our team, including admins and managers if necessary. And that is because of the administration that I mentioned."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"In terms of what could be improved with Elastic, in some use cases, especially on the advanced level, they are not ready made, so you'll have to write some scripts."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"Their visuals and graphs need to be better."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"I might have the best product in the market. But if it's not properly configured, then I'm losing many of these features. I'm not getting the most out of them. And this is actually one of the biggest challenges that we're facing."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"I would like to have more forensic features. For example, if we are hit by an attack, I would like to have tools to investigate what kind of attack, who has attacked, how it was attacked, and what we could do to stop this kind of attack in the future. I would like to have more forensics capability built into Kaspersky."
"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"It is hard to maintain the software and upgrade."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business could improve the flexibility of use."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"It would be better if it were more secure and stable. I would also like to see more powerful features in the next release."
