Comparison Results: Trend Micro Apex One comes out on top in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is the more lightweight solution and easy to set up. In addition, many of its reviewers feel that it is reasonably priced.
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The stability is very good."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features are the range and restriction."
"There do not seem to be any limitations to the scalability of this product."
"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"We most value the price and interface quality with Sophos Intercept X. We focus on solution quality."
"The deployment is quick. It just depends on the environment and what you may be replacing."
"The most valuable features of Sophos Intercept X are the ease of use and the policy options that are simple to understand. Overall, the protection is good."
"We have found the reports to be most valuable."
"It's easy to use and used to be a very good solution."
"It has the ability to share, which is not available in other products."
"Device control works well, and the anti-malware updates are also pretty good. Every two or three weeks, you get updates. The frequency of the release of new definitions is quite good. We had peace of mind."
"The most valuable feature is the antivirus."
"It is available on our OS platform and will automatically scan our machines daily or weekly."
"The AI and machine learning feature is the most valuable because it helps mitigate threats based on an organization's behavioral patterns."
"The most valuable feature is the behavior monitoring."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The solution is not stable."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The initial setup can be difficult if you don't come in with at least some knowledge about the product."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
"The cloud management console could be a little more user-friendly."
"It consumes a lot of resources, and something needs to be done for that."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"I would like to see better support for virtual and desktop infrastructures."
"There are not any solutions that are a 10 out of 10. A 10 would be perfect protection with no impact on the performance of the device. This is not the case, there is some impact on the performance of the device."
"The customer service and support could be improved in regards to response time. It could be faster."
"The customization has room for improvement."
"They should include easy-to-use connectors to make it easier to connect to SIEM."
"We sometimes face issues with policies and rules while working with Apex One. They sometimes do not work."
"We have had some false positives with One Endpoint Security's ransomware detection. We received an alert, but it wasn't a ransomware attack. When we did an investigation, we found it was only malware."
"The solution needs to have SDR in it. So, SDR is an area where the solution needs to work and improve itself."
"I would like to see the initial setup simplified to make it less complicated, and the price reduced."
"Trend Micro Apex One could improve by providing signatureless detection, reducing the agent's needed system resources to increase performance, and enhance further the vulnerability assessment feature. These changes would be very helpful in the future."
"Could channel video more efficiently."
