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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"The most valuable aspect of Huntress is its 24/7 SOC service."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients."
"The solution offers quick and timely updates."
"The product offers almost all of the features the client expects from such a solution."

"Stable threat protection software that's quick to install. The security it provides is okay."
"The ransomware protection and behavior monitoring features of Trend Micro Apex One are actually good."
"It's reduced administrative overhead."
"It provides comprehensive visibility into all client logs and seamlessly integrates with other products, such as CM."
"Technical support is quite knowledgeable and helpful."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Detections could be improved."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Their EDR can have increased coverage for Macintosh. They do not fully secure Macintosh computers."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"Apex One uses a lot of RAM and other physical resources, and I also don't like the web interface."
"Whether the license is monthly or annual depends on the deal of the company."
"The solution could use extra dashboards and offer more analytics."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in next-gen attacks protection."
"I think that this product needs to improve the data loss prevention port."
"We cover many things, but there is something called ATP, advanced threat prevention. I think they need to invest in this technology."
"The solution could be improved by providing better training to the vendors."
