We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks 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 like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The information the dashboard provides is very clear."
"Being a cloud solution it is very flexible in serving internal and external connections and a broad range of devices."
"WildFire AI is the best option for this product."
"I like the centralized console and the predictive analysis it does of malware. It is very stable and also scalable."
"Has great threat detection capabilities."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"It'll not slow down your system when compared to others."
"After deploying Traps, we saw the performance of the network improve by 65 to 70 percent."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Cortex XDR is trickier to configure than other Palo Alto products. This is one area where we are not so satisfied."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"The solution could improve by providing better integration with their own products and others."
"It tends to do 99.9% of things. The only thing I'd like is single sign-on authentication into their cloud platform so that my users can be properly authenticated against it."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"It would be better if they could educate the customers more. Some sort of seminars and roadshows will help educate the customers and show what the product can do. The price could be better. It would also help if they had a team for deployment and support."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"I would like to see better protection, specifically to protect email applications."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"It is hard to manage."
