Pricing: Elastic Security is considered affordable and cost-effective, with pricing based on the size of the monitored environment. LogPoint's fixed pricing model is seen as cost-effective and competitive.
ROI: Elastic Security has shown mixed results in terms of ROI, with some users expressing concerns about the quality of their premium support. LogPoint makes costs more predictable and enables companies to generate revenue through security operation services.
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Elastic Security is very customizable, and the dashboards are very easy to build."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collect authentication information from service providers."
"The product has huge integration varieties available."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Security is that you can install agents, and they are not separately licensed."
"It is an extremely stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Elastic Security are it is open-source and provides a high level of security."
"The most valuable thing is that this solution is widely used for work management and research. It's easy to jump into the security use case with the same technology."
"Elastic has a lot of beats, such as Winlogbeat and Filebeat. Beats are the agents that have to be installed on the terminals to send the data. When we install beats or Elastic agents on every terminal, they don't overload the terminals. In other SIEM solutions such as Splunk or QRadar, when beats or agents are installed on endpoints, they are very heavy for the terminals. They consume a lot of power of the terminals, whereas Elastic agents hardly consume any power and don't overload the terminals."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."
"The product is easy to use."
"They basically charge you in a better way."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the combination of the software and the support that they have."
"The main advantage of Logpoint is the support service. They reply within ten minutes to an hour to our queries."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"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."
"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 would like the process of retrieving archived data and viewing it in Kibana to be simplified."
"We're using the open-source edition, for now, I think maybe they can allow their OLED plugin to be open source, as at the moment it is commercialised."
"Elastic has one problem. In the past, Elastic Security was free. Now, they currently only offer the basic license or a certain period of time."
"Anything that supports high availability or ease of deployment in a highly available environment would help to improve this solution."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"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."
"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."
"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 should offer more integrations and third-party solutions like incident response platforms or allow access to third-party big data"
"Log management could be better because transporting the log from a password to the client system takes time."
"The general public wasn't looking for that type of product unless you had a company that was medical or financial and needed 24-hour responsiveness."
"LogPoint must find a way to integrate the servers without agents."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"We were missing visuals and graphics. Recently, a new version seems to have come out, and it has a new graphical user interface. When I was integrating it, it was usable, but the GUI needed improvement."
"The thing that makes it a little bit challenging is when you run into a situation where you have logs that are not easily parsable. If a log has a very specific structure, it is very easy to parse and create a parser for it, but if a log has a free form, meaning that it is of any length or it can change at any time, handling such a log is very challenging, not just in LogPoint but also in everything else. Everybody struggles with that scenario, and LogPoint is also in the same boat. One-third of logs are of free form or not of a specific length, and you can run into situations where it is almost impossible to parse the log, even if they try to help you. It is just the nature of the beast."
"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
