"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is stable and scalable."
"This is stable and scalable."
"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We are able to manage all our endpoints from a single cloud console."
"It has extended OS support to ensure your legacy endpoints also have zero-day protection."
"The zero-day threat prevention is excellent."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"SandBlast Agent is always working in the background collecting sensitive data, forensics, and notifying users whenever there is a chance of a brute-force attack into our systems. Otherwise, it has been protecting our data at various geographies along with the endpoints that we set up on the cloud. They have been able to filter out or thwart any attacks from the very word, "Go," and make our work very safe and smooth."
"One of the advantages for me is that it is very easy to use."
"The management console is pretty good. We have a dashboard that shows us what stuff to log, different malicious links that people are trying to access and also if somebody was trying to connect something to the computer, to a USB port or something like that, and if this person is on the under control management. It shows that he tried and he got blocked."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"Stable threat protection software that's quick to install. The security it provides is okay."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"The scalability is perfect."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"An additional feature I would like to see involves the VPN."
"The application control and URL filtering features are not very strong."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"The solution could be improved in the future with a way to provide online training to customers for free, as other providers do."
"They could be focused on the analysis of USB devices."
"A couple of times, we experienced some sales issues."
"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"Tech Support must be better."
"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."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"We have found that this product is a bit heavy on the endpoints."
"All the features in Trend Micro Apex One are not compatible or functional for all the different operating systems. For example, they have fewer features in other operating systems compared to what they have for Microsoft Windows. It would be nice if they could have one solution which all functions work on all kinds of operating systems. It would be much easier for those who have different operating systems in their environment to have one solution."
"Trend Micro's encryption is not up to the mark. We tried their encryption product, but we did not like it. Encryption was difficult to manage."
"Apex One could use some updates to its UI, threat modeling, and insights. I would like to see better integration with helpdesk platforms and more AI-driven features."
"It is weak in terms of intelligence. By implementing Trend Micro Apex One, I wanted to see real-life scenarios. I deployed it on 50 clients to check if I could do lateral moments and zero-day exploits. I wanted to check how the zero-day protection works with Trend Micro. It fails with most of them because it is signature-based. They are not looking at the MITRE ATT&CK framework, so with zero-day attacks, it mostly fails."
