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."It is stable and scalable."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"I would advise someone considering this product to go for it. It's easy to use, cheaper than the value, and there is tons and tons of support from the BigFix community. With almost every challenge we have someone who has encountered it, and you will have a solution right away."
"In terms of vulnerability management, it gives tough competition by providing a single management console with multiple benefits."
"The patch management and the BigFix Inventory have been the most valuable features."
"It's very straightforward."
"It's good for reporting hardware and software."
"It is user-friendly."
"Prior to BigFix we used Altiris, which was distributed. We had to manage multiple servers, and duplicate the tasks that we did on each server. BigFix tremendously reduced the amount of work that we had to do on each server in a centralized manner. We could minimize the work that we had to do, and we had a lot more control over the tasks and what machines they ran on."
"It's enabled us to have a highly successful endpoint patching program for the past decade. It's been enormously successful there. It's also become a core part of many of our business processes, from compliance monitoring of endpoints, encryption management, key escrow, and local administrator password escrow. It's built into our inventory. It's very much everywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"I have found Trend Micro Apex One to be secure."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the virtual patching it provides."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"Workload security now has a feature called Activity Monitor for each endpoint."
"I like Apex Central. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I would like to see the integration of user security between the different products to be improved. There's separate security for compliance, separate security for web reports, and the console, and you have to manage those things separately."
"The sub-capacity licensing was a challenge for some of it. We had trouble getting it to calculate right."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The product should become cloud-based. Also, the peer nesting ability of the product is a little backward."
"I would like the dashboard to be improved to show the problematic machines and good machines."
"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."
"IBM has not focused on the Web Reports capabilities."
"I remember doing restarts a few times. So, making sure that it is rock solid from an executable perspective is important."
"Some of our customers need to add cache file signatures in Trend Micro Apex One, but it is currently not a supported feature."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"The cost could be improved."
"The policies tend to be a bit more complex to set up, so we do need some expertise in setting up the policies."
"The integration capabilities could be a bit better."
"We're not sure if we're going to continue with those products or their products or we're going to switch to something else. That's why we stopped the immigration process. If we were going to replace another product, it's not really efficient to waste time on it moving patients and other clients."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
"I am expecting an Apple featured IDLP solution with OfficeScan, where we have only IDLP. Also, the ADR functionality in our Office Scan solution would be a nice addition. Genrally, the ADR solutions are the only failed ends of the solutions we have found with Trend Micro."
