We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Fortinet FortiClient 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."It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The solution is stable."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"It's very stable."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"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'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."
"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."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The user interface is outdated."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"It has a horrible performance. It is one of the most unstable VPNs I have ever used."
"It takes too long to install."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"The only thing that is lacking in this product is the support. Their support can be improved."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"I heard that Fortinet is going to enhance the firmware to have mobile versions. One is like Linux long-term support SCS and one with new features, but there is no support here. We spoke with the vendor multiple times, and they said that they will release these features soon."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
