"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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Almost every feature is wonderful in BigFix. It is very stable, and we can rely on it. It is an awesome tool."
"Prior to BigFix we used Altiris, which was distributed. We had to manage multiple servers, and duplicate the tasks that we did on each server. BigFix tremendously reduced the amount of work that we had to do on each server in a centralized manner. We could minimize the work that we had to do, and we had a lot more control over the tasks and what machines they ran on."
"Patch management, because it very much improved the patch compliance and has the capability to manage Windows and non-Windows clients."
"It's good for reporting hardware and software."
"All the vendor patches are synchronized automatically."
"BigFix helped us to identify the compliance of devices and has also improved the way that we manage our software inventory for reporting to vendors."
"Being able to intelligently create reports, gather data, export CSVs and give that to the leadership of some of the client groups that my team supports has helped my organization."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"Stability is okay."

"The product has proven to be very flexible over the years that we have had it."
"It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
"From a technology point of view, it is very simple to install, it's not heavy on the endpoint in terms of the amount of processing cycles. It is simple to deploy and the interfaces are easy. You don't need to be a scientist to operate it."
"It's a stable solution, to date we have not had any issues."
"I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function."
"It's easier to integrate Apex One than Kaspersky. It also performs well, and the customer feedback has been positive."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would request them to build a robots, or an easier way for integration with the other tools, like ITSM tools."
"To make it a ten they should improve the licensing. Second, if they could have one environment for everything it would be nice. For you to install compliance you need to install the server, and then you add the modules. For you to install inventory you install the server and then you add the modules. It's not easy to do. When I was doing it before I learned it, it was not straight forward."
"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 lacks AI, ML, and IIT."
"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."
"I would like to see SDK for Web UI included in the next release."
"The relevant language takes a little getting used to since it's not used anywhere else in the industry. It's just in the BigFix environment."
"The tool should be more friendly in terms of Web UI and should be having better vulnerability scanning mechanisms so a third-party application is not required to fulfill that aspect."
"Trend Micro Apex One should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"Occasionally, the system may be a bit slow."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"The solution could be more proactive by using AI to assess the production landscape and compete with other products."
