We performed a comparison between Avast Business Hub and CylancePROTECT 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."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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"Avast as a product is as easy as it gets - everything is outlined and transparent in terms of licensing."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
