"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"It's easy to use."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features."
"When comparing to other products the console is much more user-friendly, and it's easy to implement."
"It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Apex One is the response time and detection module."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"It is easy to learn. In just two or three hours, our system administrator could learn how to use it. It is easy to integrate and easy to manage."
"This solution protects us from virus attacks before they affect the organization."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"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 only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"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"
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"I would like to have the ability to have more control over the deployment in the next release. If you have this console in the cloud, you cannot make pilot groups for deploying the agents. We only have the current group. So, as soon as you inject the software, it will go directly into production, which doesn't work for us. We need to build up pilot groups slowly. We already requested to have this feature on the cloud, and we are still waiting."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."
"When I create and implement a new policy , it takes a couple of hours to apply to the devices."
"The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"It is weak in terms of intelligence. By implementing Trend Micro Apex One, I wanted to see real-life scenarios. I deployed it on 50 clients to check if I could do lateral moments and zero-day exploits. I wanted to check how the zero-day protection works with Trend Micro. It fails with most of them because it is signature-based. They are not looking at the MITRE ATT&CK framework, so with zero-day attacks, it mostly fails."
"The time required for Apex One to notify us of detection in the central console should be reduced."
"The cost could be improved."
