We performed a comparison between Elastic Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business 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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"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"
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"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 visualization is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the prevention methods and the incident alerts."
"It is the best open-source product for people working in SO, managing and analyzing logs."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I like that Kaspersky isn't heavy."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The solution is secure."
"The policies are easy to make and controlled by the Kaspersky Administrative Security Center, which comes at no additional costs."
"The admin capabilities are great."
"I am impressed with the tool's main dashboard, anti-malware application blocking, DDoS, etc."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"I have found the most useful features to be protected against viruses, mail threats, encryption of the devices, and MDM. There are a lot of features."
"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"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"In terms of improvement, there could be more automation in responding to and evaluating detections."
"If you compare this with CrowdStrike or Carbon Black, they can improve."
"The solution's query building is not that intuitive compared to other solutions."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"We set up a cron job to delete old logs so that we wouldn't hit a disk space issue. Such a feature should be available in the UI, where old logs can be deleted automatically. (Don’t know if this feature is already there)."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"When I do a malware scan on my computer it takes a long while. This process could improve in the future. Additionally, the security could improve."
"There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"The support must provide quick responses."
"The solution could use better reporting."
"It's grown more expensive and customers are not happy about it."
"We would like it so that if a user uses it on-premises, the server should use fewer hardware resources."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
