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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"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."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"The solution is reliable."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The solution is not stable."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"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."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"Technical support from the vendor is very bad."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
