We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint and Elastic Security 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."
"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The tool minimizes the impact of a breach with autonomous detection and response."
"Harmony Endpoint is able to detect, monitor, block, and mitigate attacks on the endpoint and it builds and maintains relevant logs for later inspection."
"Check Point Endpoint Security helps us ensure device control and security. It helps us make sure users can access only the network resources they should be accessing and keep malware to a minimum."
"We now feel more secure with our PCs, even more with the non-technical persons."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"It's a good platform and the very best in the current market. We looked at the Forester report from December 2022 where it was said to be a leader."
"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 an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"ELK Logstash is easy and fast, at least for the initial setup with the out of box uses."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"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 most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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."
"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."
"I have a few issues when attempting to install Harmony on some of the machines."
"There needs to be compatibility with the most recent versions of the various operating systems."
"Its customer support services and user interface could be improved."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"I'd also love to see them add full MDM support, but I appreciate that that's not the product market. If it did come in, I'd be more than happy to look at additional modules. It was probably one of the easiest products I've ever had to deploy it, but if it's not capable of doing MD, then that's going to impact its usefulness to us."
"The setup process is complex. You need a solid working knowledge of networking, operating systems, and a little programming."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
"The tool needs to integrate with legacy servers. Big companies can have legacy servers that may not always be updated."
"The tool should improve its scalability."
"With Elastic Security, the challenge arises from the fact that there is a learning curve in relation to queries and understanding the query language provided to extract usable data."
"The solution needs to be more reactive to investigations. We need to be able to detect and prevent any attacks before it can damage our infrastructure. Currently, this solution doesn't offer that."
"Email notification should be done the same way as Logentries does it."
"It could use maybe a little more on the Linux side."
