We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Trend Micro Apex One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The stability is very good."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"Installation was easy."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."
"Having a centralized console is a valuable feature. The Fortinet fabric is also very valuable where all different pieces talk together to secure our network and track the North, South, East, and West movement of files and data through our network."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
"It's easier to integrate Apex One than Kaspersky. It also performs well, and the customer feedback has been positive."
"We've been able to integrate the solution with other security products."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"The ADR capability of Trend Micro has helped us in investigating the root cause for any threat that is hunting by providing us with good visibility of the timeline and activity of the threat."
"Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
"The solution is stable and integrated into the system quite well."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Detections could be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"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 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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"There is room for improvement by increasing the solution's knowledge base."
"It takes too long to install."
"Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features. Everybody else is doing AI, machine learning, self-healing, next-generation features. It needs more next-generation features."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"Some of our customers need to add cache file signatures in Trend Micro Apex One, but it is currently not a supported feature."
"I would like to have DLP features implemented into Apex One."
"Trend Micro Apex One could include more in-depth endpoint protection."
"We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular."
"Sometimes it will not communicate with the server, and we need to manually restart items."
"The solution can be improved to utilize fewer system resources, like memory and hard disk, during scanning."
"It has good signature-based capabilities, but features like “shape detection” can be improved upon."
"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."
