We compared CylancePROTECT and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: CylancePROTECT offers a quick and easy setup process, a user-friendly dashboard, and strong AI-based protection. However, users have raised concerns about its pricing, the user-friendliness of the dashboard, and the lack of control over agent installation. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint provides continuous monitoring and threat detection, along with strong integration capabilities and reliable performance. However, there are areas where it can improve, such as enhancing client performance, improving the user interface, and delivering faster response times. Furthermore, CylancePROTECT's technical support is perceived as slow, while VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's support receives mixed reviews.
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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"
"It is stable and scalable."
"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 solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The solution is stable."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"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."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"The solution is stable."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Technical support is excellent."
"I like its reporting."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"It has the best live response feature."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"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."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"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."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"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."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
