"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."

"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"Trend Micro Apex One has good features and is lightweight."
"Trend Micro Apex One most valuable features are centralized management, ease of use, and help user management. Additionally, it can detect vulnerabilities in the end-users system"
"We've found the technical support to be very helpful overall."
"The antivirus itself is also lightweight. It does not hamper the performance. It is not resource-hungry. It does not impact the overall performance of the device. It is just there, and it is easy to use."
"There's excellent data loss prevention to help prevent purposeful or accidental loss of data."
"One of the better features, in my opinion, is that it also makes use of a web reputation. For example, if someone accidentally clicks on a link in an email that leads to a malicious website, they will block it."
"The most valuable aspect is achieving zero attacks and zero data compromise."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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'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."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS."
"I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year."
"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."
"This software could affect the performance of your device negatively, particularly causing slow performance after installation."
"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."
"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."
"Trend Micro should make the agent lighter. When we run the scanning process, it consumes a lot of memory, and the performance is degraded. It is very invasive. It could be lighter. When we used Symantec, we didn't have this problem when we ran our scanning process. It worked like a charm. On the endpoints, it didn't feel like that the process is running, whereas, in Trend Micro Apex One, we can feel that the endpoint is running slow. Sometimes it even hangs. Scanning should be faster."
"The integration could improve in this solution."
"It should have a single agent as competitors are offering."
"The CPU usage when scanning is too high and we have run into bottlenecks were it consumes a lot of CPU time."
"Its pricing should be improved. In some cases, the user interface was not ready for our proof of concept. It wasn't a beta phase service."
