"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is stable and scalable."

"Almost every feature is wonderful in BigFix. It is very stable, and we can rely on it. It is an awesome tool."
"It has plugins development options, which are great."
"Servers are patched more consistently than they have been previously."
"Pre-packaged support for many third-party applications such as Adobe, Google, Mozilla, Sun (Java), WinZip, and others."
"Patch management, because it very much improved the patch compliance and has the capability to manage Windows and non-Windows clients."
"The older version of the tools that I use also included the connectivity aspect, and the fact that the tool now has it separate from the collection of usage data makes the deployment of these tools much easier."
"BigFix has drastically reduced the maintenance window period to patch and reboot servers."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"he setup is simple."
"Some of the valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are DLP, encryption, and patch management."
"Its reporting and dashboard are valuable. Its dashboard is easy to use."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution should have some kind of a local caching methodology, where the patches can be taken locally into a localized relay server, and from there, the patch can be applied, so that there is not much usage of the network required."
"One aspect that could be improved is the speed of the console. Sometimes it can be slow, which is something that needs to be addressed."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"The main shortcoming of BigFix was integration with vulnerability management. If you had a vulnerability in your software and BigFix on the endpoint, you needed integration with Qualys, Tenable, or another vulnerability management solution to fix that. It was like, "Okay, we can identify issues, and get that information back from the endpoint, but what are we doing about it?""
"BigFix can improve the way machines report back to the console. In the external relay management environment, it has become more of a hybrid environment with most of the machines not being on-site. The need of having public-facing reporting items interconnected is becoming more and more crucial. In general, the reporting could use some enhancement."
"Its pricing should be improved. It is too costly."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"BigFix is actually a little bit on the expensive side in Turkey because of the dollar's exchange rate in our currency."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"One of Trend Micro's weaknesses is its high resource utilization."
"The reporting can be improved. We'd like to have had broader insights as to what was happening on a machine."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
"I would like to see a sandboxing feature in the next release - which is currently something being supported by a third party - in addition to EDR capability on the cloud applications."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
