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."Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"It is very quick to react. I can set it to check anomalies or suspicious behavior every 30 seconds. It is very fast."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. We can have a number of scenarios, and we can get logs from anything. If we know how to use Logstash, we can tweak it in many ways. This makes the logging search on Elastic very easy."
"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 solution has a good community surrounding it for lots of helpful documentation for troubleshooting purposes."
"Elastic Security is very easy to adapt."
"The indexes allow you to get your results quickly. The filtering and log passing is the advantage of Logstash."
"I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through Power Shell."
"The main features that are useful are application control, vulnerability protection, and XDR Vision One which we have recently started using. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system"
"The solution offers good community support."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
"It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products."
"The cloud-based management portal was okay."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"The solution could offer better reporting features."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The problem with ELK is it's difficult to administer. When you have a problem, it can be very, very difficult to rebuild indexes."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"The interface could be more user friendly because it is sometimes hard to deal with."
"It is difficult to anticipate and understand the space utilization, so more clarity there would be great."
"There is room for improvement in the Kibana dashboard and in the asset management for the program."
"The scans in Trend Micro Apex One take a very long time and it takes up my system resources. I do not receive alerts. These areas could improve."
"The technical support should be more proactive."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
