"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the rapid threat detection."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."
"We collect a lot of telemetry from Singularity Complete."
"Their platform is really easy to work with."
"The GUI is really easy to use."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"It is easy to manage and install. It has a very nice graphical interface that is very intuitive when end users are using it. You don't have to follow or read a book about 600 pages to have knowledge on how to use it. When SentinelOne is up and running, you can easily find your way."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne is the good graph it provides. It has a specific page where it detects the recent attacks on other machines or the hackers, for example, group APT28 and all."
"Vulnerability management is a valuable feature that I enjoy."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
"Many features that this solution has, competitors lack. The feature I think is quite good is data loss prevention."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution can scale."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"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 solution offers good community support."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"Generally, the stability is good, but I would like to see better stability from the solution. The stability issue is partially a con of a behavioral-based product, but being behavioral-based, it also has a lot of pros."
"SentinelOne's phishing feature could be improved."
"This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
"There should be more integration models with different security operations tools or soft tools."
"I would like to improve the reports because they are not so customizable and we would like more info from them."
"I'd like to see more documentation."
"One way to improve and get additional benefits would be for SentinelOne to host the updated installer files for us, rather than us having to download and host them ourselves."
"The area where it could be improved is reporting. They have some online reporting, but it would be nice to be able to pick and choose. When I'm looking at the console, I would love to be able to pull certain things into a report, the things that are specific to me."
"We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
"I think that this product needs to improve the data loss prevention port."
"The DLP model needs improvement."
"Apex One could use some updates to its UI, threat modeling, and insights. I would like to see better integration with helpdesk platforms and more AI-driven features."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
"The scans in Trend Micro Apex One take a very long time and it takes up my system resources. I do not receive alerts. These areas could improve."
"Sometimes HTTPS sites are not blocked properly."
