We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Trend Micro Apex One 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."Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The scalability is good. It can be scaled easily in the production environment."
"The visualization is very good."
"We've found the initial setup to be quite straightforward."
"It's not very complicated to install Elastic."
"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 stability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"We have found the reports to be most valuable."
"It's made it easier for us to monitor the security environment in general."
"The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked."
"Trend Micro Apex One has good features and is lightweight."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"I use Trend Micro Apex One for work control, application control, firewall, whitelist and blocklist filtration, analysis, monitoring, deep security for the servers, major monitoring, and IPS modules."
"The solution is not stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Upgrades currently released as stacks when it should be a plugin or an extension to save removal and reinstallation."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"The biggest challenge has been related to the implementation."
"This type of monitoring is not very mature just yet. We need more real-time information in a way that's easier to manage."
"Its documentation should be a bit better. I have to spend at least a couple of hours to find the solution for a simple thing. When we buy Elastic, training is not included for free with Elastic. We have to pay extra for the training. They should include training in the price."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"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."
"There are connectors to gather logs for Windows PCs and Linux PCs, but if we have to get the logs from Syslog then we have to do it manually, and this should be automated."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"I don't give it a perfect 10 because of the Active Directory integration. It would make things easier if the Active Directory were integrated more seamlessly."
"The solution could use signatureless detection."
"It could be more customizable."
"The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."
"We want to manage the policies in the group. Currently, if I am at one location and other users are at other locations, the main problem is that we cannot manage policies location-wise. The policy management should be improved. I should be able to group them based on the location. If one location has four policies and another location has the same policy, currently, I have to scroll the screen to find out the policy as per my location."
