"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The stability is very good."

"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"The solution is secure."
"Deployment and centralized management are essential for us because of the number of loads that we have along with the number of geographic locations where we are based."

"find some of the most valuable features to be the anti-malware, encryption, and the EDR launching service."
"We have over 1,000 users using the solution in our organization and the solution has been able to handle it."
"The failure rate is very low."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it also protects our smartphones. It's one of the reasons we use Trend Micro specifically."

"The most valuable features are the DLP and anti-virus functionality."

These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye."
"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."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."

"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution's management console can be better and more granular than it is now."
"The solution could be more secure."

"When we connect to the solutions' website they block out our VPN connection. This causes us some difficulties."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"There are times when Microsoft Windows's antivirus called Defender interferes with the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business. There should be better integration with Windows."
"Reaching their support team can be difficult."
"A big improvement would be allowing us to reconfigure the agents and change what to whitelist for a specific user. If the user is not happy with the configuration and is being blocked from certain sites, we should be able to reconfigure the monitoring mechanics to make it more flexible."
"The solution could be more stable and secure."
"I'm not sure about the cloud migration part, in terms of whether it is seamless or not."
"There is room for improvement to make it better for customers."
"In the next release, I would like to see a combination of the different features from Apex One and OfficeScan in Trend Micro Smart, rather than as upgraded features."
"I want the tool to provide the solutions integrated within it to have regular updates. Currently, the solutions integrated with Smart Protection get updates from the cloud. I want to minimize the download from the cloud."
"The solution should improve its mobile management solution."
"The administration could be better. They could decrease the administrative burden and enable easier management. There are many features, options, and settings which is quite challenging for some of our customers. The complexity of the interface is also an issue. From a software point of view, I would prefer to see actual signatures and actual protection patterns, rather than new features."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection needs to improve its compliance features to cover more domains, such as BCIDSS rules. Enhancements in this area would enable quicker and more comprehensive compliance reporting."
