Ensures advanced AI-driven threat detection to provide robust endpoint security, effectively preventing both known and unknown threats with minimal impact on system performance
We integrate it into our comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, specifically for antivirus and antiviral purposes. CylancePROTECT provides comprehensive endpoint security, including EDR capabilities. Additionally, BlackBerry now offers XDR, similar to other companies like CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. The AI-driven threat detection of CylancePROTECT has significantly enhanced our organization's security posture. This company has pioneered an AI-based engine that doesn't rely on signatures, thus offering protection for every computer, server, and endpoint without requiring specific signatures for malware or other attacks. Cylance stands out for pioneering the delivery of a complete AI-driven antivirus engine that relies primarily, if not solely, on AI and machine learning for threat identification. Remarkably, it identifies over 99.7% of global threats.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"I like the AI and mathematical components that they use."
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
 

Cons

"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"​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."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
