"It is stable and scalable."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"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."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"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."
"The support needs improvement."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."
"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
