We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Tanium 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."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"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."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"They could improve the UI."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
