"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"It is updated automatically without much intervention from our side. We can also get some reports easily."
"I have opened three tickets with the technical support and they were responsive and asked me to send them my logs."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"The most valuable feature is Vulnerability Protection."
"It is easy to learn. In just two or three hours, our system administrator could learn how to use it. It is easy to integrate and easy to manage."
"Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action."
"The policies, protection, and ease of use are the most valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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'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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"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."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not stable."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The VirusScan needs to improve in order to detect ransomware and other advanced threats."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"It is weak in terms of intelligence. By implementing Trend Micro Apex One, I wanted to see real-life scenarios. I deployed it on 50 clients to check if I could do lateral moments and zero-day exploits. I wanted to check how the zero-day protection works with Trend Micro. It fails with most of them because it is signature-based. They are not looking at the MITRE ATT&CK framework, so with zero-day attacks, it mostly fails."
"I would like to have DLP features implemented into Apex One."
"We are completely satisfied with the functionality of the product, but the reporting should be more granular."
"We're actually looking to upgrade to more sophisticated ADL products. We need a more sophisticated endpoint. We need to have the ability to automate those instant response processes."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"Apex One has some room for improvement on the agent side. I want to get more from the logs and those kinds of things. I want to see whether the agent has the proper updates or any issues with the machine itself."
