We performed a comparison between BigFix 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 most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"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."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"We found the implementation partner to be very supportive in terms of explaining and training the in-house resources and deploying the solution."
"The solution is unbelievably scalable."
"The patch management and the BigFix Inventory have been the most valuable features."
"It's easy to use, not complicated."
"It is user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is patch management, a must have, even for Linux and iOS."
"The technical support for BigFix is really amazing."
"Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features."
"The scalability is perfect."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the endpoint security with the zero-day vulnerability. They have an on-premise sandboxing solution which prevents any of those zero-day vulnerability issues."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the virtual patching it provides."
"Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I would like to see more custom content."
"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."
"The reporting and dashboard parts have room for improvement."
"Sometimes there is a lag time for our users."
"The new EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) feature, Detect, is new and still needs a few updates."
"There is no support for patch management on SLES on IBM pSeries (only the Intel platform is supported)."
"The remote software installation could be better."
"I would like the dashboard to be improved to show the problematic machines and good machines."
"It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it."
"The support could be more customer-friendly, although my experience with them has been okay."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"If certain alerts could be translated into day-to-day English with some action plans, a few points, what to do, and how to do it, that would help me personally as IT Manager. They have some recommendations regarding the vulnerability of the endpoint. They take you to some very technical information and if you are not a security engineer or security-trained you might not understand what they're talking about. We are a small company and it would benefit if things were explained better, we cannot afford a dedicated Trend Micro Apex One engineer."
"The integration could improve in this solution."
"The solution can be improved to utilize fewer system resources, like memory and hard disk, during scanning."
"The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
