The product also has sandboxing features."
"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"This has very much improved our organization by saving time to deploy thousands of endpoints to our customers."
"The most valuable aspect of BigFix is its ability to patch desktops. While we have complete control over servers and can easily push patches to them, desktops pose a greater risk for leaks and vulnerabilities if patches are not installed in a timely manner. By using BigFix, we have significantly improved our ability to patch desktops, whether they are laptops, desktops, or other mobile devices used by end-users."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"BigFix is easy to use."
"The architecture for patching and the 100% correct reporting makes BigFix stand apart from other solutions."

"The most valuable feature of BigFix is the reporting tool and patching Windows."
"The ease of deployment is one of its most valuable features."
"Its ability to detect ransomware and malware is the most valuable. Its protection is also good."

"The main benefit is the threat intelligence network of Trend Micro."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"It's a stable solution, to date we have not had any issues."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"I have found it beneficial when I update a policy it is implemented within a few seconds and the blocking of USB storage function."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"I self-taught for this online, so the initial setup was a little difficult to pick up at first. I had to create a couple of testing environments and destroy them in order to learn how to use it. There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of reading of the manuals."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
"I would like to see more integration with external data."
"The relevant language takes a little getting used to since it's not used anywhere else in the industry. It's just in the BigFix environment."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"One aspect that could be improved is the speed of the console. Sometimes it can be slow, which is something that needs to be addressed."
"I'd like to see better API integration with BigFix. We have some tremendous API capability inside of CyFIR and the ability to take textual search results, for example, and bring that back into the BigFix dashboard. This would be of extreme interest to us and our customers."
"The reporting can be improved. We'd like to have had broader insights as to what was happening on a machine."
"I don't give it a perfect 10 because of the Active Directory integration. It would make things easier if the Active Directory were integrated more seamlessly."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
"The solution could use signatureless detection."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
"The menus can be more user-friendly or easier. For example, if we want to enable access to the USB ports, it should be more user-friendly. It is not easy. We need to navigate through several menus to be able to give access."
