Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Patch Management for a variety of operating systems makes it valuable as we can rely on a single tool for obtaining patch compliance of the entire compute infrastructure."
"It is a one-stop tool that allows you to do everything. It supports reporting, vulnerability management, patch management, and configuration. All things can be done in one tool."
"The technical support for BigFix is really amazing."
"Software distribution and patch management are the most valuable."
"BigFix is incredibly fast and accurate in patching, reporting, and remediation."
"Ability to run custom reports and custom relevance."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"The most valuable feature is patch management, a must have, even for Linux and iOS."
"I like Apex Central. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console."
"The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the response time and detection module."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"The main benefit is the threat intelligence network of Trend Micro."
"Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment."
"It's a good solution, and they have something called Suite incorporating many, many engines like encryption, GLB, anti-virus."
"Workload security now has a feature called Activity Monitor for each endpoint."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"I would like better support on the backend."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
"The deployment has room for improvement and can be more streamlined."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"Relay selection and availability needs improvement as an incorrect relay selected can cause network chokes."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"The scalability of the web UI product doesn't scale to the size that we need for our implementation so it needs to expand. I would also like to see the capability to develop on the back of the web UI capability. There are lots of web features and integrations that we could do with web UI that it would be nice to be able to put on top of what's already there, rather than waiting for IBM to develop what we need."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"I would suggest making the on-prem and cloud versions easier to manage via Apex One Central, a centralized management platform for customers and agents."
"The solution could improve by making the interface less confusing, it needs to be simplified."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
"Trend Micro Apex One can improve its vulnerability assessment and monitoring tools."
"We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
"The main thing they need to improve is their reporting functionality and the forensics for their on-premise consult. They do not have very good reporting features or forensic functionality in the on-premise version. They need to improve that."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by providing signatureless detection, reducing the agent's needed system resources to increase performance, and enhance further the vulnerability assessment feature. These changes would be very helpful in the future."
