Comparison Results: Trend Micro Apex One comes out on top in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is the more lightweight solution and easy to set up. In addition, many of its reviewers feel that it is reasonably priced.
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The stability is very good."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Anti-virus captures malicious threats and an aggressive next generation firewall."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the EDR."
"Malware protection and application blocking are absolutely great. The DLP and malware features are very helpful. It is also very user-friendly, reliable, and scalable. It is easy to set up. We are also happy with its price and support."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"It is one of the best in terms of technicality."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"Intercept X helps with internal alerts, application access, and triggering support teams."
"The base product and the anti-malware feature are most valuable."
"Trend Micro Apex One has good features and is lightweight."
"I like One Endpoint Security. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console."
"Stability is okay."
"The scalability is perfect."
"DLP is a solid feature in the product. I like it very much. It is very useful in our environment. It is also a very stable solution. Their support is also very good."
"We've been able to integrate the solution with other security products."
"We don't use application control but instead, we use behavior monitoring, which is a good feature. The real-time scanning, data loss prevention, and endpoint sensor we use are beneficial"
"The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection."
"Detections could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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 amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"Needs more flexible reporting, particularly for medium to large size companies."
"It should offer better security updates."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"It would be better if it can automatically generate a report for each and every user so that the users get to know the things that shouldn't be accessed from their PCs. It can have information about malicious and non-malicious sites so users are aware of them, and they don't access malicious websites. Such reports can be generated at the end of the day. We should also be able to get through to their support team quickly. Currently, it takes more than half an hour to get through to a technical person."
"The EDR could be improved, and perhaps the User Interface."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"It has a performance hit on a local laptop. There's an agent installed and we are bothered a lot by it because it seems to be using a lot of computer resources."
"It would be great it can support endpoint encryption."
"They could improve the integration with Active Directory."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"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."
