We performed a comparison between Trend Micro Apex One and SentinelOne based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Trend Micro Apex One comes out ahead of SentinelOne. Our reviewers found that SentinelOne's deployment time may vary, which could be an inconvenience for some customers, it also lacks reporting, policies, and endpoint visibility, which are important for many organizations.
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The stability is very good."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the quick response to attacks."
"The 365 management and analytics from the cloud is another great feature."
"They provide a map, a process tree, and that is pretty good for analysis."
"The remediation and rollback features are pretty impressive."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory."
"The best thing SentinelOne has done for us is that it gives us insight into the endpoints. We never had insight into lateral movement threats before. Once a threat known as Qbot gets on the network, it actually spreads throughout sub-networks quickly. SentinelOne has detected that and saved our bacon. We were able to get in there and stop the threat, lock it down, and prevent it from actually spreading through. It would have been 50 or 60 computers. It had spread through in a few minutes. We have a lot of HIPAA data and FERPA data that we need to keep protected."
"It is a good endpoint solution. That's the reason we chose it. We looked at other solutions, such as CrowdStrike, and based on the cost and the services it delivers, it was the better choice."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user-friendly interface."
"Email security is the most valuable feature."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level. Our previous solution would look at things from the user desktop level, and you had to have an agent deployed to collect that. The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"The solution offers quick and timely updates."
"From a technology point of view, it is very simple to install, it's not heavy on the endpoint in terms of the amount of processing cycles. It is simple to deploy and the interfaces are easy. You don't need to be a scientist to operate it."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space."
"Managing the alerts is a challenge. Singularity generates a lot of alerts and false positives."
"Security could always be better."
"The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents."
"The MDM functionality and maturity still need improvement."
"Native integration with the mobile console is an area that can be improved."
"It's fine. It's correcting all the EFC files with a virus. All the achievements, maximum EFC files. Many EFC files will be flagged as a virus. Some virus databases need to be updated. The model is good at finding many EFC files. The trouble is it needs to be updated."
"I'd like to see more documentation."
"Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"We have to manually log in to the machines and give them an update command."
"The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself."
"Trend Micro Apex One should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"The integration capabilities could be a bit better."
