We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Trend Micro Apex One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"Secure and easy connect is the most valuable feature. It is a reliable solution, and it works."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."
"The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked."
"Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
"The monitoring is very good."
"I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through Power Shell."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"The scalability is perfect."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution is not stable."
"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've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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 would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The support needs improvement."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"The user interface on the central server could be improved."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
"We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular."
"Occasionally, the system may be a bit slow."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"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."
"There is a need for enhancement in certain reporting formats."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
