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."Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"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."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not stable."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"It is hard to manage."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
