We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Cynet 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."Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It is hard to manage."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"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."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
