We performed a comparison between Sophos EPP Suite 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."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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer. For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool."
"The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."
"The web control and the application control are two good features."
"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is the accounting and reporting services are good and professional. The business features of the solution are very useful, such as the reporting page for clients. It provides a clear understanding of usage, including how much traffic has been used and how much is remaining. Additionally, it's user-friendly and easy to understand. Overall, the solution is good, useful, and has a helpful user interface."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"I am impressed with the product's antivirus and malware application control."
"Stability-wise, it is a good product, and I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the vulnerability protection and virtual patching."
"The most valuable features are web application features and real-time scans."
"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"Apex One offers a lot of bang for your buck. It includes an antivirus solution, DLP, app control, and all the other features found in endpoint protection solutions like Microsoft Defender. Many other solutions require additional licenses for different operating systems, but Trend Micro software bundles everything."
"I believe that optimization is a really good feature on the front side."
"The initial setup is not that tough. It's easy."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"Deployment and central management need to be improved."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."
"Sophos does not currently inform users of potential compatability issues with Windows updates."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"Apex One could improve endpoint patching. For example, Kaspersky can download Microsoft updates and install them. Having that feature in the cloud application would help a lot."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"The application and web controls have room for improvement."
"The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"I can't think of any specific areas that need improvement."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by having better integration in the future."
