We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiEDR 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."It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"The features I found most valuable in this solution are the micro apps. I also value the dashboard that offers better visibility and helps protect machines from attacks."
"From a technology point of view, it is very simple to install, it's not heavy on the endpoint in terms of the amount of processing cycles. It is simple to deploy and the interfaces are easy. You don't need to be a scientist to operate it."
"We don't use application control but instead, we use behavior monitoring, which is a good feature. The real-time scanning, data loss prevention, and endpoint sensor we use are beneficial"
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"I think this is the best solution in the category of endpoint protection, it's really excellent. It's better than McAfee."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The XDR feature which provides us with real visibility into our environment is the most valuable."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Trend Micro Apex One should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"Trend Micro's encryption is not up to the mark. We tried their encryption product, but we did not like it. Encryption was difficult to manage."
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
"We want to manage the policies in the group. Currently, if I am at one location and other users are at other locations, the main problem is that we cannot manage policies location-wise. The policy management should be improved. I should be able to group them based on the location. If one location has four policies and another location has the same policy, currently, I have to scroll the screen to find out the policy as per my location."
"The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced."
"No product can ever be rated a ten out of ten. They are always improving on one aspect or another."
"The integration capabilities could be a bit better."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
