I agree, going straight to a cleat can subject it to getting snatched out, or at least worked loose over time.
Cleats are best for taking care of the tag end, not withstanding tension. Where possible, I like to wrap the rope around a pole a couple of wraps. That way those wraps are taking the large majority of the forces, then I snugly cleat the end off. That way it doesn't yank direcly against the cleat and there's no chance of the rope becoming bound up on the cleat over time.
