We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiGate SWG and Trend Micro Web Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Secure Web Gateways (SWG) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The protection offered by the product is the most valuable feature. It detects vulnerabilities or traps on our users' phones and then prompts them to clean up their devices. Tools we used previously would only discover, which required us to gather information on the backend, so Lookout is a welcome upgrade."
"On the outside, the main differentiation is because Lookout ingest. They have ingested basically all of the apps for the last ten years and all the versions of all the apps, and we have that in a corporate database that allows us to do very large-scale machine learning and analysis on that data set. That's not something that any of the competitors really have the capability to do because they don't have access to the data set. A lot of the apps you can no longer get them because that version of the app is five or six years old, and it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore, except within our infrastructure. So, the ability to have that very rich dataset and learn from that dataset is a real differentiator."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the antivirus as a whole, the anti-malware, and all of the protection features that scan our enterprise devices."
"I would rate the scalability of this product a nine out of ten because it is highly scalable. We have not had problems with customers in terms of scalability."
"FortiGate SWG's most valuable feature is integration with vulnerability management."
"The technical support is good."
"The overall features of Fortinet FortiGate SWG are good."
"The product is highly stable."
"The security for endpoints is the most valuable. It is very secure for our workers. It allows us to secure a transaction and enable security for a specific segment in the workflow."
"The interface is user-friendly, so it's easy to add policies and block traffic."
"The product's most valuable features are SD-WAN and the integration of WiFi and switches."
"It's a stable solution."
"The solution's technical support team is responsive."
"Threat protection solution with good stability and scalability. Installation is straightforward. Support for this product is good."
"The product's installation phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is machine learning, which automatically monitors the activity on the machine."
"It's a very stable solution."
"We find the advanced license for the DLP to be particularly useful with this product."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Web Security stems from the fact that it is neither a cheap nor an expensive tool."
"From the analysis that we've done, they do seem to be maybe a step behind in trying to enter the market with a new solution. But when they do pick up, they do come out with some good products."
"We just submitted an enhancement request reflecting the main area we want to see improvement in; the APIs. Currently, we're able to build dashboards, but it's somewhat backward because we use our MDM API to create them. Lookout should provide API to customers so we can query our data and use it in our cloud, and this is the only outstanding area for improvement with the product right now."
"The stability depends on the service from where you access it. Because sometimes, the place you are in, you have Gateway. You don't have Gateway. The gateway is overutilized. At the end, you need to go through their gateways. And this is the key point here. You have a tracking point. If it's not well orchestrated, and it scales up as you add more to the existing team, you will suffer"
"Lookout was moving into the SSE space. And so their work on SecureWeb Gateway and SD-WAN is still sort of evolving."
"Another issue is how deduplication services don't work reliably after enabling deduplication on Fortinet."
"Support could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG's costs need improvement."
"The UI/UX experience can be a little better."
"The software is a bit expensive to renew."
"We can't identify which users are causing challenges when we have issues."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG could improve the price, it is expensive."
"Fortinet FortiGate SWG can be expensive for some customers."
"The installation is a little bit complex."
"The system should generate reports when an attack has been stopped, contained, or removed."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Setup isn't very straightforward. You must have a certified technical engineer."
"The costs are a bit high in terms of licensing."
"There are multiple ways Web Security could improve, such as usability and web access to several programming modes."
"This solution has a lot of restrictions on what non-administrator users can do, including generating comparative code. We would like to see this changed as the product is developed."
"What could help Trend Micro Web Security in terms of improvement is the addition of a DDoS protection feature. It also needs to be more comprehensive to meet the needs of large-sized companies."
