We compared CylancePROTECT and Trend Micro Deep Security based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: When comparing CylancePROTECT and Trend Micro Deep Security, CylancePROTECT is commended for its effortless implementation and precision, as well as its advanced AI-driven user behavior monitoring. However, it receives negative feedback regarding its cost, lack of user-friendliness, and excessive false positives. Conversely, Trend Micro Deep Security delivers supplementary capabilities like vulnerability protection and a firewall, receiving positive evaluations for its performance, customer support, and compatibility. Areas for improvement include reporting, handling dynamic threats, and affordability. Pricing differs for both solutions, and the customer support for Trend Micro is highly acclaimed.
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"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 product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"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."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The integration options of Trend Micro Deep Security have been particularly valuable."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"It can scale well."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"We find that their technical support team is always accessible and willing to assist."
"There are a good signature set and a high rate of detection."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"The user interface is outdated."
"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"Installation and operations may have issues on some machines owing to their configuration of the network cards as the product is a DPI driver."
"I would like to see an EDR function for the servers, as that would be useful for us."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"Trend Micro is scalable if you have the budget for it."
"I would like them to add EDR features, moving away from traditional signature-based anti-malware."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The implementation can be inflexible and not easy, as it requires knowledge of things like virtualization and administration on Windows."
"Their automation needs improvement."
