"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"This product has the capability to check a wide range of vulnerabilities and devices."
"It's easy to use."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"We really like the dashboard from Trellix and we've found that it's pretty informative."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"Some of the valuable features of Trend Micro Apex One are DLP, encryption, and patch management."
"They have a wide range of products, including a couple for virtual patching, which is very important."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"I like Apex Central. We can manage all the Trend Micro products from one console."
"The monitoring is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability attack and detection since it enables swift action."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"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"
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Technical support is an area that can be improved because sometimes, the response time is a bit slow and the explanation is short."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The Apex One endpoint sensor has room for improvement."
"The price is the main concern of the clients."
"The only thing that I would like to see changed or improved in the next release is when it reports C&C callbacks, to make it easier to trace, to see what's doing that, whether it's a program checking for updates or a malicious program."
"It would be better if it was easier to administer Apex One."
"I think the one place where we like where they lacking is in a unified style dashboard."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect"
"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 technical support could have better response time."
