Any issues they are currently facing, they feel, will likely resolve with future updates. However, our reviewers found Trend Micro Deep Security to be expensive and difficult to deploy, and weren’t satisfied with the level of support.
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It's reduced administrative overhead overall thanks to its centralized dashboard and single network administrator."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action."
"Email security is the most valuable feature."
"One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."
"I use Trend Micro Apex One for work control, application control, firewall, whitelist and blocklist filtration, analysis, monitoring, deep security for the servers, major monitoring, and IPS modules."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"Very straightforward and very easy to implement."
"It serves its purpose and works well."
"The most valuable features of the solution we have enabled in our organization are its anti-malware capabilities, applications, web reputation, and integrity monitoring."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"It is stable and we have not faced any challenges during the rolled out"
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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"
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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 the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard."
"We had a few occasions where we had to turn off our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The product can be a bit heavy."
"No product can ever be rated a ten out of ten. They are always improving on one aspect or another."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
"We have received many complaints about how slow the system is on the first day of implementation."
"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."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"The risk is very complex. We need our tools to be more intelligent, more automated, more detectable."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"In the solution, servers often go offline for various reasons, requiring us to manually check the cause or issue, such as connectivity issues, and to find out why the agent went offline."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
