We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Elastic 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 has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the search function, which allows me to go directly to the target to see the specific line a customer is searching for."
"Elastic provides the capability to index quickly due to the reverse indexes it offers. This data is crucial as it contains critical information. The reverse index allows fast data indexing because of Elastic's efficient search engine."
"The feature that we have found the most valuable is scalability."
"I use the stack every morning to check the errors and it's just so clear. I don't see any disadvantage to using Logstash."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature for me is Discover."
"The most valuable feature is the scalability. We are in Indonesia, more engineers understand Elastic Security here. So it is easier to scale and also develop. In features, the discovery to query all the logs is very important to us. It is very easy, especially with the query function and the feature to generate alerts and create tools. Sometimes we use the alert security dashboard to monitor our clients."
"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 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 find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"They don't provide user authentication and authorisation features (Shield) as a part of their open-source version."
"This solution cannot do predictive maintenance, so we have to build our own modules for doing it."
"The price of this product could be improved, especially the additional costs. I would also like to see better-quality graphics."
"The solution does not have a UI and this is one of the reasons we are looking for another solution."
"There isn't really a very good user experience. You need a lot of training."
"The training that is offered for Elastic is in need of improvement because there is no depth to it."
"Better integration with third-party APMs would be really good."
"There is an area of improvement in the Logs list. The load list may need to be paginated as there are limits."
