We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon 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."NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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 FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The stability is very good."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"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."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."

I had a great experience having deployed CrowdStrike to tens of thousands of endpoints. It's easy to deploy and operationalize. It has provided protection against threats that other engines did not catch based on its powerful heuristics and AI.
CrowdStrike does invest heavily in R&D and provides advisory services on endpoint protection.
I never used Cylance. We installed CrowdStrike on 6/6/19 and aside from a test file have had zero hits. CrowdStrike has some additional features available (at a cost). One that I am looking at is device control for USB storage devices for policy enforcement. Syslogs are being absorbed by my SIEM as well.
