We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert 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."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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Elastic Security is a highly flexible platform that can be implemented anywhere."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the speed, as it responds in a very short time."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning capability."
"Enables monitoring of application performance and the ability to predict behaviors."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The intelligence of the system has been very impressive. It's not quite AI, but the technical bit where it correlates information, based on the seen attacks within an organization is good."
"It is easy to manage."
"The pricing is decent."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"The product is very easy to use."
"This is a feature-rich product."

"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"
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution is not stable."
"Elastic Security can be a bit difficult to use if a person only has experience in SMBs with tools like Zoho. The product can also be difficult for those who have never dealt with query language."
"Improvements in Elastic Security could include refining and normalizing queries to make them more user-friendly, enhancing the user experience with better documentation, and addressing any latency issues."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"We'd like to see some more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"We'd like better premium support."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"It consumes many system resources."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"The prices can go down a little bit."
"Device control is lacking in EDR."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."
"It is not easy to follow the kill chain of a potential infection or malware."
