Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This has very much improved our organization by saving time to deploy thousands of endpoints to our customers."
"I would advise someone considering this product to go for it. It's easy to use, cheaper than the value, and there is tons and tons of support from the BigFix community. With almost every challenge we have someone who has encountered it, and you will have a solution right away."
"It allows for visibility into the OT, the industrial environments, that didn't exist before which is a big piece and has benefited my organization. Second, the speed at which people can patch is night and day versus SCCM scan or another similar solution."
"It is pretty secure, and it gives extensive vulnerability features as compared to other applications. It supports multiple languages, and the security checks are pretty high as compared to other tools in the market."
"The patch management and the BigFix Inventory have been the most valuable features."
"My company provides support services to a lot of customers and companies. We have reduced a huge amount of man-effort. Along with the man-effort, we have reduced the timeline to fix the compliance and security gaps. We have an unbroken record. The documentation clearly says that we have done the patching of newly released patches, including Microsoft and third-party patches, in up to 80% of the computers, within 72 hours of the release of the production. That was a very massive benefit that we have seen. When I talk about the 80% endpoints, it is 100 or 200. I am talking about 25,000 endpoints."
"We are able to go from patching thousands of machines by twenty to thirty people to one person."
"The solution is unbelievably scalable."
"The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."
"I have found Trend Micro Apex One to be secure."
"The solution is powerful, simple to use, and very flexible. Having the solution in the cloud allows us to do remote work from anywhere."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"It's reduced administrative overhead."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Detections could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Relay selection and availability needs improvement as an incorrect relay selected can cause network chokes."
"The reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"Maybe the online help could be improved. It'd be nice if you would have a lot more phrases and keywords that you could search for and find answers with the help."
"The new EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) feature, Detect, is new and still needs a few updates."
"The reporting structure could be a little more simplistic. Currently, it throws too many vulnerabilities. Some of them are not needed because they are only informational and limitations, and they are not of much help. It doesn't need to show us these things."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"The deployment has room for improvement and can be more streamlined."
"I'd like to see better integration, with the different applications within BigFix. Instead of sometimes feeling like four or five different applications, they need to be integrated a little better within themselves."
"Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"There is room for improvement in next-gen attacks protection."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
