"The integration of the vulnerability scan, mobile detection, and VPN client."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."

"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The nano protection and device control are great."
"The solution can scale."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"It takes too long to install."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"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."
"All the features in Trend Micro Apex One are not compatible or functional for all the different operating systems. For example, they have fewer features in other operating systems compared to what they have for Microsoft Windows. It would be nice if they could have one solution which all functions work on all kinds of operating systems. It would be much easier for those who have different operating systems in their environment to have one solution."
"It would be ideal if the solution could be simplified a bit."
"The solution can be improved to utilize fewer system resources, like memory and hard disk, during scanning."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"We had a few occasions where we had to turn off our clients' computers to upgrade the drivers."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see IBS included in OfficeScan."
