We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Trellix Endpoint Security 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."Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"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"
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"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."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"Trellix lacked email protection when it was a McAfee product. They added this feature during the merger with FireEye, but it hasn't been fully integrated. The core features will be integrated into the next release. FireEye has several solutions for EDR and sandboxing."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"There is room to improve with scalability."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
