"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."

"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"I was very satisfied with Malwarebytes in terms of its antivirus abilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to customize for different groups."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"It's very versatile and thorough."
"The central management of devices from different sites is a very good feature; this has made them much easier to manage."
"The solution integrates well with other Trend Micro products."
"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 solution has multiple modules within a single agent deployment."
"The AI is excellent."
"Helps with vulnerability and patch management, making it easier to provide top-notch services to our customers."
"We do get notifications, which are helpful."
"The most useful feature is endpoint security."
"The configuration is easy."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution reports far too many false positives!"
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"We experience a lot of false positives."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"There is room for improvement in the way it is deployed, in terms of being able to distribute it. Right now we have to get our hands on a machine to deploy it. It would be nice if there was an easier system."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"Requires increased efficiency in terms of detecting false positives."
"A solution must be installed in the main gateway to give an overview of the incoming and outgoing traffic. The technical support team's response time should be faster."
"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."
"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."
"It is onsite. It does have its challenges in terms of scalability."
"The threat response could be a bit better."
"Documentation-wise, they are a disaster. If you want to know something about Trend Micro, you will not find anything useful from Trend Micro themselves. You have to basically dig some blog, or you need to seek some expert to help you understand what they are offering. I have never seen such a good product with such disastrous documentation. Feature-wise, almost all vendors are providing the same features, but it is all about the integration. For example, Trend Micro is promoting their endpoint protection suite, but they never mention about the integration that they are offering with their EDR solution. They are treating each product as a separate island, and you don't know much about their integration. It would be good if they can focus on integration."
"The solution should improve its mobile management solution."
"This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it."
