"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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"
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"The cloud-based management portal was okay."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are it has its own machine learning and it is quite fast, compared with the other solutions. When you're comparing the other solutions, each has pros and cons, you cannot claim one is 100 percent suitable for you. None of the solutions dominate in all areas."
"Apex One is flexible and offers a lot of visibility on the agent."
"I can run a full scan and it won't cost too much in terms of resources, which is good."
"The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection."
"The initial setup is not that tough. It's easy."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
"The product can be a bit heavy."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The role-based access control needs improvement."

"The integration could improve in this solution."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
