We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and CylanceOPTICS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"Threat identification and detection are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We can visualize and control the activities in the environment from anywhere."
"One of the things that I enjoy the most is using policy extensions. It's like having host firewalls to control USB connections. I think it's a wonderful tool to restrict use when connecting to our computers. Another important tool is Home Insights. That is an add-on to the Cortex solution. I like that because we can see all the vulnerabilities in the environment and control what assets are connected to our network."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"One thing that I like about Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks, it is detecting all the suspicious or malicious binaries, and it has integration with Palo Alto Firewall."
"The initial setup isn't too bad."
"It has pretty much everything we need and works well within the Palo Alto ecosystem."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."
"The solution has a high level of trust in the industry."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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"
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"There are some false positives. What our guys would have liked is that it would have been easier to manipulate as soon as they found a false positive that they knew was a false positive. How to do so was not obvious. Some people complained about it. The interface, the ESM, is not user-friendly."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It is a complex solution to implement."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"In general, the price could be more competitive."
"The installation should be easier and the Palo Alto pre-sales and sales teams should have more information on the product because they don't know what they are selling."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"The product's technical support is slow."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions"
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."
"The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive."
