We performed a comparison between CylancePROTECT and Sophos EPP Suite 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."It is stable and scalable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"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."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The support needs improvement."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The product must make the interface a little more user-friendly."
"Deployment and central management need to be improved."
"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"The user interface is not responsive."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
