Comparison Results: Trend Micro Apex One comes out on top in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is the more lightweight solution and easy to set up. In addition, many of its reviewers feel that it is reasonably priced.
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the minimal configuration needed for the end user and the central view of all the endpoints. There are plenty of tools to control and manage the endpoints. Additionally, there is the capability of connecting the endpoint to the CLI."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The security on offer is pretty good. We are happy with it."
"The package we use also comes with spam filtering features, which are quite useful."
"It is easy to change the size of its capabilities, i.e. to expand processes or scale the size of users."
"Machine learning is used to detect the threat and it does so by prioritizing the suspicious activities."
"The pricing is fair. It's not too costly for our small organization."
"The nano protection and device control are great."
"Apex One offers a lot of bang for your buck. It includes an antivirus solution, DLP, app control, and all the other features found in endpoint protection solutions like Microsoft Defender. Many other solutions require additional licenses for different operating systems, but Trend Micro software bundles everything."
"he setup is simple."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the vulnerability protection and virtual patching."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"It should offer better security updates."
"The performance offered by the product needs improvement."
"Should include additional integration."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"This product does not handle USB drives well."
"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"In my opinion, there have been significant developments in the product. In my opinion, I don’t have any suggestions as of now, however I can suggest a cost deduction which will be beneficial for all the parties. It will also relieve our budget and benefit our team."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"Technical support is very very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking."
"The reporting can be improved. We'd like to have had broader insights as to what was happening on a machine."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by providing signatureless detection, reducing the agent's needed system resources to increase performance, and enhance further the vulnerability assessment feature. These changes would be very helpful in the future."
