"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"It offers very good security protection."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security. We evaluated some solutions and found that Kaspersky is the most appropriate in terms of endpoint security and the speed of the user machine. The encryption is a major factor from our end."
"The solution provides protection for all our systems, file servers, endpoints and domain controllers."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"The blocking feature is the most valuable feature."
"As a Japanese company, it doesn't have any restrictions on usage in our country."
"Product-wise, it is amazing. It includes DLP, vulnerability management, and application whitelisting features. These features are very good and add value in selling this solution to our customers. These features make the key selling point. I recently did a comparison with the FireEye firewall for a customer. They were basically going to replace Trend Micro with their EDR. Because of these features, I could convince the customer that Trend Micro is better than FireEye."
"The most useful feature is endpoint security."
"The most valuable features are the DLP and anti-virus functionality."
"The scalability works well."
"We haven't had any compatibility issues. It's quite stable and it's a good tool in preventing actual viruses or malware."
"What I like the most is the customer pricing because it's a great value."
"The tool offers centralized security management. The tool's deployment is flexible."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The performance level could be better."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"There are some features built into Kaspersky that do not work at all, so we have to use other products instead."
"The licensing fees could be reduced."
"The installation is technical. You need to be certified."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"We were considering switching to SentinalOne because it has pre-detection, and Trend Micro does not offer this; it's something the solution should add."
"Recently our end users are feeling that their system resources are too occupied and slowed because of the Trend Micro agent - that the agent is doing lots and lots of background activities which include that Application Control, Advanced Threat Protection. We raised the complaint with them and are waiting for their technical support. The support could be faster for all the Trend Micro solutions."
"No online encryption or cloud services are available for the tool, so my company has to install it mostly in an on-premises environment. Encryption or cloud services need to be made available in the product."
"Some functionalities within the DLP can be improved."
"The threat response could be a bit better."
"The solution's device control options are not too beneficial."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection could improve automatic scanning because sometimes it pops up when I am doing my work. It would be helpful to have a feature to have it only automatically scan when the system is on standby mode. I would be able to be more efficient with my work. Additionally, security could improve."
"The web filtering could be improved."
