We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon 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."NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The detection is very effective."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"It's very easy to set up."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The solution is stable."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"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 company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"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."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."

We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
I had a great experience having deployed CrowdStrike to tens of thousands of endpoints. It's easy to deploy and operationalize. It has provided protection against threats that other engines did not catch based on its powerful heuristics and AI.
CrowdStrike does invest heavily in R&D and provides advisory services on endpoint protection.
I never used Cylance. We installed CrowdStrike on 6/6/19 and aside from a test file have had zero hits. CrowdStrike has some additional features available (at a cost). One that I am looking at is device control for USB storage devices for policy enforcement. Syslogs are being absorbed by my SIEM as well.
