We saw time to value within two weeks of implementing the solution, which strengthened our use cases
We use FortiAI, FortiSIEM, and FortiEDR Fortinet helped us scale large-scale deals with clients because of its strong offerings. Fortinet is very straightforward to use. I have access to a lot of technical resources, and I have been able to use them effectively. Fortinet has helped free up around…

A number of support and stability issues, though SONAR provides good real-time threat protection
We use Symantec Endpoint Security Complete as an enterprise antivirus solution.  I don't think the solution has improved our organization.  The SONAR feature is valuable as it offers real-time protection and threat rejection.  It is important that Symantec Adaptive Protection reduces the attack…

Good monitoring and server protection with helpful machine learning
The monitoring is very good. It offers good server protection. There's event monitoring and monitoring for duplicate system files and suspicious behavior. It has a lot of features that are not available with other OEM products. Trend Micro offers good virtual patching. Many OEMs rely on Trend Micro based on its bug bounty. Many submit bugs to Trend Micro, and Trend Micro pays people to find bugs. The IPS model will protect users until they patch to the latest updates. There's a malware module that was recently released. It offers damage cleanup services and protection against viruses. It offers real-time protection. There's machine learning that protects against unknown tests. If the behavior looks suspicious, Trend Micro will kick in to secure the customer. It adapts to protect against stealth threats. Most customers are using One Endpoint Security with XDR. We can analyze potential threats. If there are any glitches running continuously, if any lateral movement is detected, we can move in to secure the endpoint. It helps us move in immediately. We'll be able to recognize things that aren't part of our processes. It has the capability to integrate with our Active Directory. It has ransomware detection capabilities. Users may not know which emails are suspicious. However, we can control access via the gateway. It helps protect against unknown suspicious activity. One Endpoint Security provides a single console across layers for detection, threat hunting, and investigation. It's very important for customers to have this single console so that everything can be located in one place. This single console provides end-to-end visibility into the entire IT security environment for our customers. The configuration and monitoring are important. Every machine must remain compliant in order to ensure no threats can break through. We work hard to make sure every machine is up to date. The learning curve of Apex One is very low. It's easy to use. It's easy enough to administer One Endpoint Security. We've seen a reduction in threats and viruses since moving to One Endpoint Security. We've seen a drop of 60% to 70%. We do use One Endpoint Security as a service. We recommend that our customers use the SaaS offering. It has fewer limitations. It helps reduce the workload for customers by 60%. Overall, the administrative overhead has been reduced by 65%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The stability is very good."
"I am impressed with the tool's detection response."
"In reference to zero-day attacks, we immediately get signatures from the Symantec site. That is good."
"Endpoint security platform that provides protection for Active Directory environments, file servers, etc., and offers excellent technical support."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced rate firewall protection, the URL filtering."
"I like that Symantec can update directories."
"One of the most valuable features includes elements such as host libraries."
"Setting up Symantec is straightforward. Our DevOps team handled the installation, so I wasn't involved, but it wasn't that complicated. They are competent people with certifications in anti-virus management. They didn't need any training or help from the vendor."
"The solution's most important feature is its reliability. It is not heavy on the workstation."
"Apex One includes a built-in fine-grained DLP solution."
"Its threat-hunting capabilities and the information about the known threats are the most available features. It can easily catch any threat in our environment."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"Its reporting and dashboard are valuable. Its dashboard is easy to use."
"It is very stable. It also has good security capabilities. It is a strong security product for endpoint protection."
"Its database is better than most of the endpoint protection solutions."
"The cloud-based management portal was okay."
"We really like the ability to have different policies to keep servers and endpoints unique to their own policy."
 

Cons

"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 solution is not user-friendly."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The product’s scalability must be improved."
"Installation and packaging for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete should be improved. Its console is also confusing, so that's another area for improvement."
"Enhancements in malware analysis and behavior detection would be beneficial."
"An area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be developed more because competitors have started providing EDR and XDR functionalities, but in the product, those are still missing. Another area for improvement in Symantec Endpoint Security Complete is that it needs to be lightweight. Currently, the product is very heavy when compared to other vendors. It takes up too much space on the hard drive and the memory."
"Any traffic coming through should be recognized whether it is a legitimate URL or not."
"The overall support level for the solution could be increased."
"Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover everything on the cloud. It does not cover the workstation emails. There are risks associated with it."
"There are some limitations from the cloud security point of view."
"If certain alerts could be translated into day-to-day English with some action plans, a few points, what to do, and how to do it, that would help me personally as IT Manager. They have some recommendations regarding the vulnerability of the endpoint. They take you to some very technical information and if you are not a security engineer or security-trained you might not understand what they're talking about. We are a small company and it would benefit if things were explained better, we cannot afford a dedicated Trend Micro Apex One engineer."
"Initially, it isn't easy to understand the console because most of the applications integrate through Visual One. When we create a new dashboard, it takes some time to adapt, but the IT staff does not have any problems."
"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."
"The alert, or warning function, needs to be improved."
"We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
"The solution could improve security. It is important to always keep the organization secure."
"While the single console offers partial end-to-end visibility into our IT security environment, we leverage additional solutions to achieve comprehensive coverage, so this area can be improved by Apex One."
"The technical support could have better response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good."
"It's moderately priced, neither cheap nor expensive."
"I'm not familiar with pricing, but it looks a bit costly compared to other vendors I think."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We got a good deal on licensing, so it is in the competitive range."
"Fortinet FortiEDR is available at a very competitive price compared to the other products in the market."
"Offered at a high price"
"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"I'm recommending going with three-year licensing, rather than the yearly licensing option for this product."
"The product's pricing is dependent on partnership levels. The solution's price is competitive compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is good. It's good value for the money."
"It's cost-effective and well-suited for smaller to midrange companies."
"License renewal is not a straightforward process. I have a three-year subscription. It takes a long time to renew the license after three years. It is not proactive on that. The solution is expensive for the coverage that it does. I have to include other products to complement the protection that Symantec Endpoint Security Complete does not cover. We have to pay 18 euros. There are no additional support or maintenance costs."
"In terms of costs, Symantec Endpoint Security Complete has become costlier compared to how much it was in the past. The cost of the product is very high now. The customer needs to pay extra for additional features, but not for technical support. For example, if you need an email gateway or if you are looking for URL filtering, you have to pay extra, and that's where the costs for Symantec Endpoint Security Complete become higher."
"Trend Micro Apex One's subscription model is definitely on the expensive side."
"If I compare Trend Micro Apex One with other solutions there are a few challenges for customers who have do not need more licenses. Sometimes the customers struggle because this product is totally an enterprise solution, and the price for the licenses can be expensive for individuals or small organizations."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, Apex One is an eight."
"The pricing is reasonable and depends on user count."
"The cost of this solution is mid-level; not cheap nor expensive."
"It is cost-efficient."
"It's an annual subscription."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
