We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Sophos EPP Suite 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."Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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."
"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 FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."
"The protection that this solution offers us is strong."
"Sophos EPP Suite stands out with its user-friendly dashboard and strong web filtering features for enhanced online security."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a powerful antivirus."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"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."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The user interface is not responsive."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"The solution could improve in configuration and the central logging and dashboard."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
