We performed a comparison between Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks 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."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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."
"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."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"We have a complete overview of all our PCs and it's very easy to handle and to use the interface. It has a lot of benefits for us."
"Cortex XDR lets us manage several clients from the same console, and its endpoint defense is more advanced than traditional antivirus."
"It's very stable. I've never experienced downtime for the ASM console or ASM core."
"Cortex XDR's most valuable feature is its intelligence-based dashboards."
"The product has an intuitive dashboard."
"One of the main benefits of the solution is its intelligence to correlate the events into an incident."
"Cortex XDR is a simple platform that's easy for administrators and users. You have a lot of flexibility to change or customize the features."
"It blocks malicious files. It prevents attacks. It doesn't require many updates, it's a very light application."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"The solution is stable."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Detections could be improved."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Cortex does not offer an on-premises solution. However, some customers would prefer not to be on the cloud. It would be ideal if it could offer something on-prem as well."
"It's not an ideal choice for smaller businesses, as you need a minimum of 200 endpoints to even use the solution at all."
"The solution needs better reports. I think they should let the customer go in and customize the reports."
"The connection to the internet has not performed as expected."
"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."
"There are a large number of false positives."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"It is hard to manage."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
