We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Trellix Endpoint Security 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 ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"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 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 CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
"The product is easy to use."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"Technical support is always available and very helpful."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The support needs improvement."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The interface is complex."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
