We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiClient and Trend Micro Apex One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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 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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"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."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The most favorable features have been behavior monitoring and zero-day threat protection."
"The ease of deployment is one of its most valuable features."
"The web console is quite helpful, as is the visibility view for deployment. Updates do things like Device Control Management, which I can control."
"It's a stable solution, to date we have not had any issues."
"The AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"Along with the anti-malware, it has a built-in device control and DLP."
"I like Apex One's DLP and EDR features. The DLP is a good solution because it allows you to push policies. Source detection is another one. It automatically detects malicious IPs, domains, and URLs. Most of the time, it works automatically, but sometimes it doesn't quarantine or block, so we have to perform remediation manually and delete the file or application through Power Shell."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality."
"It takes too long to install."
"The filtering process could be improved."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background."
"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."
"The technical support could have better response time."
"Apex One's account security could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see behavior analysis capabilities included."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by making the user interface more user-friendly."
"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."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
