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."I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"All the features are beneficial."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"Blackberry Protect offers endpoint protection. It's easy to deploy. It's scalable and stable."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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"
"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 solution is not stable."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Detections could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"Too many false positives."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The stability could be improved."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"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 solution should implement AI in the product."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."

We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
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.
