"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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.

Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the firewall, the IPS, and the patch deployment."
"We used to have a lot of phishing attacks and all these kind of things for end-users so we decided that we needed endpoint security.

"This product would be improved if it had more monitoring capabilities so that it could stop threats before they break into the network and damage it."
"Smart Protection could be more compatible with older operating systems like Windows XP and Windows 2000. Some of our clients have requested that."
"The solution's device control options are not too beneficial."
"Trend Micro Smart Protection needs to improve its compliance features to cover more domains, such as BCIDSS rules. Enhancements in this area would enable quicker and more comprehensive compliance reporting."
