We compared CylancePROTECT and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: CylancePROTECT offers a quick and easy setup process, a user-friendly dashboard, and strong AI-based protection. However, users have raised concerns about its pricing, the user-friendliness of the dashboard, and the lack of control over agent installation. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint provides continuous monitoring and threat detection, along with strong integration capabilities and reliable performance. However, there are areas where it can improve, such as enhancing client performance, improving the user interface, and delivering faster response times. Furthermore, CylancePROTECT's technical support is perceived as slow, while VMware Carbon Black Endpoint's support receives mixed reviews.
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The stability is very good."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"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."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for advanced threat detection and response."
"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"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 solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It is hard to manage."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"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."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"The product's stability could be improved."
