"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Synchronization with the firewall is most valuable."
"The thing that I like about it is the synchronized security. You can tie endpoint protection and firewalls and a whole range of other services and products. You can get your servers taken in under this."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is less hash-based than competitors."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"This solution offers very good performance and it has great features."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"It's reduced administrative overhead overall thanks to its centralized dashboard and single network administrator."
"The monitoring is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"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."
"The policies, protection, and ease of use are the most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"It's a challenge to do system maintenance work on a notebook. You always have to disable Sophos first."
"When I use a proxy, I can bypass Sophos, which is an area that needs improvement."
"When there is an event generated by either the firewall or Intercept X, and the originating IP address is the same, these should be merged into a single event rather than two."
"Features that should be improved in the upgrade involve the excessive consumption of the the solution's processor, RAM and resources."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"I am not very satisfied with the product's reporting overall, and it needs improvement in this area."
"It should offer better security updates."
"It could be a bit easier to implement."
"The integration is lacking in Trend Micro Apex One. It does not integrate well with Microsoft p solutions. For example, with Office 365, we have to buy another solution for mail protection. That's why we are assessing Microsoft Defender 365 because we have an email from Microsoft, an endpoint from Microsoft, and we use Windows systems."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect"
"Some of our customers need to add cache file signatures in Trend Micro Apex One, but it is currently not a supported feature."
"The console can be better in terms of management and viewing the hierarchy of devices. Currently, setting up the hierarchy OU-wise is a bit cumbersome. It can be made a bit easier. If that can be more user-friendly and easier to manage, it would be great."
