We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks vs Trend Micro Apex One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Users of both solutions were satisfied with deployments, features, and technical support. However, users seem to favor Cortex XDR due to its affordable price.
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to rapidly detect certain hardware files."
"It integrates well into the environment."
"The live terminal is probably the best thing ever. It gives you the access to get straight onto any machine."
"Best solution for avoiding security breaches, malware attacks, and other kinds of security issues."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We have about 100 users on it right now, and we use it twice a week."
"They did what they said. This solution could apply to any scenario."
"I like One Endpoint Security's playbooks because they make it easier to set rules and policies. You can customize the playbooks and use them in more than one company. If you manage multiple businesses, it's a great way to set separate policies for each group. You can check for vulnerabilities, attacks, bugs, or anything strange. It also allows you to conduct performance analysis."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"This is a very stable product and we plan to continue using it."
"The solution is powerful, simple to use, and very flexible. Having the solution in the cloud allows us to do remote work from anywhere."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are it has its own machine learning and it is quite fast, compared with the other solutions. When you're comparing the other solutions, each has pros and cons, you cannot claim one is 100 percent suitable for you. None of the solutions dominate in all areas."
"The graphical user interface is simple, making it easy to navigate without the need for additional training or complex documentation."
"Trend Micro Apex One has good features and is lightweight."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"It'll help if customization was easier."
"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."
"The playbooks could be improved to include more functionalities or actions."
"Managing the product should be easier."
"There is a severe gap in functionality between Windows, Linux, and Mac versions. For example all folder restriction settings are Windows only. Traps 5.0+ does not have SAML / LDAP integration."
"It is not a suitable solution if you are looking for a single product with multiple features such as DLP, encryption, rollback, etc."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"There is room for improvement in next-gen attacks protection."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"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."
"They need to integrate the DLP with the EDR."
"Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
