"It is stable and scalable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"There is plenty of features that make the solution work very well."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"It is very efficient. I like its simplicity."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its deployment. It is easy to centrally deploy. You can deploy it on the Administration Console then deploy it to the different endpoint machines without specifically deploying it manually on each machine. Its deployment is really user friendly."
"The advice I would give someone implementing this solution is that the management of the solution is very easy. You don't need a lot of people to manage the solution."
"I appreciate the good control it offers. So, I feel confident using this solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"They have a very good reporting system and they have a very good dashboard for the administrator, which makes monitoring everything easy."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"It's made it easier for us to monitor the security environment in general."
"Stability is okay."
"Its ability to detect ransomware and malware is the most valuable. Its protection is also good."
"No down time in terms of the backend having to be updated because it's on cloud."
"The end user perspective is very good because the solution isn't complex to learn and support is readily available."
"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."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The company needs to keep developing more security measures to help keep its customers safe. If they could keep adding to security features, it would be ideal."
"I would like for Kaspersky to generate reports when it detects issues such as malware."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"I think it would be good for them to consider and cloud integration capabilities."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have a built-in DLP (data loss prevention) solution."
"It would be ideal with the solution offered more documentation."
"I would like to see integration to many different systems easier."
"This solution needs improvement in the reporting section. Reporting in Kaspersky Endpoint is good but it's not that great. The platform needs to centralize reporting control."
"The EDR feature is difficult to use and could be made more user-friendly."
"It needs a consolidated manager as there are too many parts to currently manage it."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect"
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
"The integration capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"The menus can be more user-friendly or easier. For example, if we want to enable access to the USB ports, it should be more user-friendly. It is not easy. We need to navigate through several menus to be able to give access."
"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."
"When I create and implement a new policy , it takes a couple of hours to apply to the devices."
