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 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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Its interface and pricing are most valuable. It is better than other vendors in terms of security."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The multi-layered approach to the product gives you confidence that it will stop exploits, ransomware, worms, or viruses from compromising endpoints, essentially providing peace of mind."
"The anti-exploit is impenetrable. We chose Traps because it is the only product that we were not able to get anything past."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"The solution is not stable."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The support needs improvement."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR does not detect malicious activity like in other anti-virus solutions like Trend Micro and Windows with Cisco."
"Cortex XDR should have a lightweight agent, and the agent size should not be heavy."
"The encryption is not up to the mark."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"The tool needs to be improved in terms of integration and interface."
"The solution should offer more dashboards and they should be better customized."
"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."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"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."
"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 provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"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 solution’s technical support could be improved."
