We performed a comparison between Check Point Harmony Endpoint 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."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"This is stable and scalable."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"We have found the stability to be very reliable."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The communication with the console is very dynamic and remote, without the need to return to the computer locally."
"With the prevention blade, Harmony scales higher than many other solutions."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. We had existing endpoints and it was an easy upgrade process. The interface board is also easy to use."
"Check Point Endpoint Security really helped the business stop various malware attacks throughout the time we used it, including a ransomware attack, which was stopped in minutes."
"Information is easily managed and protected (which is particularly useful in lost or stolen endpoints)."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"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."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"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."
"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."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Detections could be improved."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"We know that Check Point has a very good database about threats even Check Point tries to make this EDR stable still there are some issues we were facing after upgrading or taking TAC to help its got resolved but Check Point really needs to work on metadata."
"It would also be great to include DLP capabilities for the endpoint so that we do not have to deploy additional agents on servers or PCs or use additional products."
"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"We did have some early compatibility issues, which I hope Check Point has since resolved."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"I think some work needs to be done to improve the integration with other third-party products, namely SIEM solutions."
"I still don't have a clear opinion of the possible improvements that the tool may need. There are still functionalities that I have not been able to try completely and I would like to spend more time using the tool before offering an opinion to the IT Central community on this point."
"The software requires considerable resources and can strain less powerful computers."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
