"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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 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."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The stability is very good."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"Threat prevention is valuable because most clients use other solutions like antivirus as part of web protection. I don't find that kind of solution useful."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"The AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"The scalability is perfect."
"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."
"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"Some of the valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are DLP, encryption, and patch management."
"I like Apex One's USB port blocking. We implement different policies for each client. For example, a client might ask us to block certain USB devices or require us to restart a desktop on the network."
"Using the product as a service on the cloud has helped reduced employee workloads."
"The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"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."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"The product is not easy to use."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
"The solution could improve the Linux XDR functionality. It is not mature. There could be some improvement in the area of the use cases. For example, improvement is needed in OTN."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"We had issues with our system integrator who didn't have enough experience with Trend Micro. There aren't many enterprise customers in our country who use Trend Micro on the level that we are using it, so it might be a little too complex for them. Trend Micro is typically used in small companies that do not need all the advanced features that we are looking for. The integrators don't have experience deploying these features. The scope is broad, but Microsoft Defender is simpler."
"There is a need for enhancement in certain reporting formats."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
