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."Impressive detection capabilities"
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"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 product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to manage the solution from anywhere and having an overview of the companies security."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"The solution offers very good endpoint security."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"Detections could be improved."
"It is hard to manage."
"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."
"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"It was not effective. There were a lot of false positives, even when we use Adobe, and everybody uses Adobe, which is not a threat."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"Its pricing needs to be improved."
"When it runs in the background of the endpoint, the devices get slowed down for some applications."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
"The local technical support could be better."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
