We performed a comparison between BigFix and Trellix Endpoint Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) 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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"Software distribution and patch management are the most valuable."
"The solution is unbelievably scalable."
"In terms of vulnerability management, it gives tough competition by providing a single management console with multiple benefits."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to manage TWS, the relevance is really what sets it apart. Also, using it as a software deployment tool is the key for us."
"BigFix has drastically reduced the maintenance window period to patch and reboot servers."
"The most valuable feature is patch management, a must have, even for Linux and iOS."
"It is pretty secure, and it gives extensive vulnerability features as compared to other applications. It supports multiple languages, and the security checks are pretty high as compared to other tools in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the patching."
"The product helps us by contacting us if there are any virus attacks on our system."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"I would like to see the Self Service section made more user-friendly."
"License management isn't quite as easy as it should be to deal with the licensing. You need to take the server down to import the new licenses which I find to be annoying."
"We would like to see a different license plan, e.g. to include features from lifecycle with Patch Management, as an example."
"It can be improved speed-wise. They can make it a little bit light. If you do any query for servers in bulk, it can take some time. Similarly, creating a job can take some time."
"I would like to see API connectivity, built-in API connectors to the standard toolsets, whether it's for your ServiceNow or your Qualys. More API connectivity to make it easier to integrate to other tools."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"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."
"We need a much better multi-tenant option."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"Sometimes, while installing the ePO, we were getting so many errors and I don't know why it happened."
"It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
