"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."
"It is for multiple use cases. A lot of people are looking at it just for security, and that's really endpoint security. The endpoint management part of it in terms of being able to constantly do patching for Windows, Unix, macOS, Cloud, Raspberry, VMware, and all Linux flavors is important, and they are very good at that. They have support for virtually every OS on the market."
"One of the biggest benefits BigFix has had for our organization is the ease and efficiency to perform many different tasks, across pillars and platforms, all from one pane of glass."
"It's very straightforward."
"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 technical support is good."
"BigFix is incredibly fast and accurate in patching, reporting, and remediation."

"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"The most valuable features are reporting and where we have the ability to report back and provide information when an item is quarantined or not quarantined."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution is not stable."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"I'm looking for them to make big web UI improvements."
"In order to derive maximum benefit from BigFix, it is essential that we configure all of its features and implement them effectively. If the automation could be improved we would be able to mitigate the risks associated with zero-day threats."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
"I would like the dashboard to be improved to show the problematic machines and good machines."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"The reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"The self-service application seems to need some work to replace the client UI. There are a lot of pop-ups if you use a baseline as the object that you're setting to a workstation. Unless you're using web UI, the message is not customizable in the user notification."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"We had some problems with Trend Micro Apex One doing the updates and patches. Some of the other vendor's support has said that Trend Micro Apex One receives database signatures updates too late."
"We do not have much control as we have to work with regional policies and regional support."
"I'd like to see the different interface components combined into one, or be allowed to get to the agent management portion without having to log into the main console."
"We had a few occasions where we had to turn off our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers."
"The console can be better in terms of management and viewing the hierarchy of devices. Currently, setting up the hierarchy OU-wise is a bit cumbersome. It can be made a bit easier. If that can be more user-friendly and easier to manage, it would be great."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by making the user interface more user-friendly."
