We performed a comparison between Malwarebytes 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."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"We don't have to spend any time remediating bad things happening: Not viruses nor ransomware."
"Provides successful ransomware shut down operations."
"It is intuitive and easy to use. For the most part, it does a good job of catching things. It is good at stopping stuff. I did a couple of tests with a password cracker. I tried to load that on, and Malwarebytes didn't let me do that, which was pretty good. It has a rollback feature that I haven't seen with any other company. If one of your endpoints are hit with mass ransomware, you could actually roll it back. I watched a demo of them do that, and it was pretty sweet."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution has a good management interface."
"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."
"When it comes to frontend protections, it has some of the best definitions. In addition, they do traditional signature and heuristic detection a lot better than Microsoft and some other players in that space."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"Trend Micro Apex One is a seamless solution compared to others."
"The most valuable aspect is achieving zero attacks and zero data compromise."
"Apex One is flexible and offers a lot of visibility on the agent."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Many features that this solution has, competitors lack. The feature I think is quite good is data loss prevention."
"Using the product as a service on the cloud has helped reduced employee workloads."
"Offers great application control, vulnerability protection, and behavior monitoring."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"Malwarebytes can improve its network database. Malwarebytes can scan the files and registry. It can scan the system with a light agent. It will not impact the performance of your PC. You can do the full scan and database scan using the EDR, and the RAM and CPU consumption will not increase."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"We had a little performance problem with the solution, but that's been resolved. Since then, it's been running well."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"Overall, I haven't found any ways the solution lacks in features or usability."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The stability and performance of the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The product is a little bit more expensive than the other brands."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
"Product performance needs improvement. Customers face the same performance issues on the endpoint of the product. We need improvement on that side."
"They could improve the integration with Active Directory."
"When I was setting this up for one of my clients, I was not able to deploy the DLP."
"We had some problems with Trend Micro Apex One doing the updates and patches. Some of the other vendor's support has said that Trend Micro Apex One receives database signatures updates too late."
"We had issues with our system integrator who didn't have enough experience with Trend Micro. There aren't many enterprise customers in our country who use Trend Micro on the level that we are using it, so it might be a little too complex for them. Trend Micro is typically used in small companies that do not need all the advanced features that we are looking for. The integrators don't have experience deploying these features. The scope is broad, but Microsoft Defender is simpler."
"We have had some false positives with Apex One's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
