We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks and CylancePROTECT 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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"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."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Cortex XDR can integrate the firewalls and determine the tendencies of the attacks. It's a new generation antivirus, with protection endpoints and detection response. It is very easy to use and everybody can operate the solution."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"The product's most valuable features are massive user and feature intelligence exploit detection."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"The user interface of the solution is sophisticated and straightforward."
"The one feature of Palo Alto Networks Traps that our organization finds most valuable is the App ID service."
"The protection offered by this product is good, as is the endpoint reporting."
"The dashboard is customizable."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution’s AI is its 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."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"The solution lacks real-time, on-demand antivirus."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."
"We would also like to have advanced tech protection and email scanning."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks can improve mobile integration to allow access to the console."
"Currently, if you use Palo Alto endpoint protection as the only solution it's very complicated to remove pre-existing threats."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"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."
"It is hard to manage."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The solution should implement AI in the product."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
