We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint 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 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."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is centralized management."
"A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it."
"When sending emails to my colleagues, it detects any virus and blocks any spam that may be shared."
"It scans all the endpoints in your cloud and on-premises for vulnerabilities, threats, and malware attacks."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"Cost-wise it's cheaper than other options."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"It's pretty unintrusive"
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"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."
"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"The solution has a high level of trust in the industry."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."
"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 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"
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"They need to focus on more scalability (as much as possible) so that the solution can run across all supported OS."
"The product updates are a manual process for my administrator and can take several hours out of his day."
"Sometimes, with a lot of clients (1,000) the UI is a bit sluggish."
"Technical support can be a bit slow at times."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
"For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"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."
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions"
"The product's technical support is slow."
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."
"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."
