"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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"
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the central view. With this view, I can see all of the data."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the application control is very good."
"I appreciate the good control it offers. So, I feel confident using this solution."
"The product can scale if you need it to."

"The product's most valuable features are automation and central administration."
"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."

"Trend Micro Apex One has good features and is lightweight."
"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."
"The solution is very simple to use and easy to deploy."
"Stability is okay."
"The end user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available."

"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"The process for upgrades is very slow."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."

"Trend Micro Apex One could include more in-depth endpoint protection."
"The cost could be improved."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
