We performed a comparison between CylanceOPTICS and Cynet based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."
"It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment."
"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"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."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."
"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"The technical support could be improved although it's probably better than you get with a lot of the other traditional antivirus solutions"
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
