"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."

"The solution prevents any damage from viruses and provides risk mitigation for virus threats."

"I like Apex One's USB port blocking. We implement different policies for each client. For example, a client might ask us to block certain USB devices or require us to restart a desktop on the network."
"It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
"I have found Trend Micro Apex One to be secure."
"I would emphasize the ease of use and the quality of operations. Trend Micro is quite stable."

"It's reduced administrative overhead."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level.

The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."

"The SIEM could be improved."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Detections could be improved."

"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete could improve by integrating more easily with other Symantec security products."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"Symantec could have better support for iOS and Android mobile devices."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."
"The deployment of Symantec components could be improved."
"The support is slow and has room for improvement."
"The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced."
"I would suggest making the on-prem and cloud versions easier to manage via Apex One Central, a centralized management platform for customers and agents."
"When I create and implement a new policy , it takes a couple of hours to apply to the devices."
"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."
"In the future, the solution should include the XDR feature."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
"One of our firewalls once detected a threat, but Apex One did not detect it."
