We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Trend Micro Apex One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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 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 works well and the performance is good."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy."
"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"It is very precise and allows more permission for different use cases."
"Its scalability and the central point of XDR so that all items are centrally reporting to one solution are the most valuable features."
"I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through Power Shell."
"We've been able to integrate the solution with other security products."
"Stable threat protection software that's quick to install. The security it provides is okay."
"The most valuable features are the vulnerability protection and virtual patching."
"I use Trend Micro Apex One for work control, application control, firewall, whitelist and blocklist filtration, analysis, monitoring, deep security for the servers, major monitoring, and IPS modules."
"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"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution is not stable."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"The deployment status is not good in Mac devices and sometimes in Windows-based devices using GPO, like Active Directory, that are not on the local network."
"The quality and response time of the support team must be improved."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"The solution could use signatureless detection."
"The solution could be improved by providing better training to the vendors."
"We do not have much control as we have to work with regional policies and regional support."
"The solution can be improved to utilize fewer system resources, like memory and hard disk, during scanning."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"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."
