"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."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The stability is very good."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"It's easy to use."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"A big advantage of McAfee Endpoint Security is the ability to manage very big environments. We are supporting environments with 200,000 to 300,000 endpoints. The ability to manage with one single console is very important for us. McAfee has phenomenally improved in terms of detection. It provides real-time detection and response with the error, Real Protect, and reputations. It is not only based on signatures but also on behavior analytics, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. We have environments that never had issues with ransomware in the last 20 years. McAfee has a very good performance in this field."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"I like Apex One's DLP capabilities. You can scan and control data leakage on the user system level. Our previous solution would look at things from the user desktop level, and you had to have an agent deployed to collect that. The solution offers different levels of protection that you can invest in."
"The most valuable features are the vulnerability protection and virtual patching."
"The XDR feature which provides us with real visibility into our environment is the most valuable."
"The ADR capability of Trend Micro has helped us in investigating the root cause for any threat that is hunting by providing us with good visibility of the timeline and activity of the threat."
"I have found Trend Micro Apex One to be secure."
"It's a stable solution, to date we have not had any issues."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the response time and detection module."
"The solution is not stable."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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"
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"Apex One's threat and vulnerability management has room for improvement."
"Technical support is very very slow. There is no French support. Only English. The experts are in England, the United States, or Japan, I don't know where. So the support is really lacking."
"Trend Micro Apex One should have a DLP (Data loss prevention) module."
"The application and web controls have room for improvement."
"The performance could always 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."
"I think the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard."
"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."
