Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files
We use Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response to scan and detect unusual processes and malicious files on the endpoint The product's threat-hunting feature is very intuitive and easy to use as it is GUI-based. We need to know the specific fields we want to scan. It gives the entire report of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"The most valuable features of CylancePROTECT are its powerful machine-learning capabilities and predictive intelligence."
"Does malware analysis. Blocks WannaCry and other attacks that have come out."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."
"It gives all the information in a clear response."
"For me, the technical support is good."
"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
"The solution is efficient."
 

Cons

"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use."
"It is hard to manage."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"They need to improve their technical support services."
"What needs to improve in Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response and what I'd like to see in its next release is a centralized dashboard that allows you to view what is there, similar to what's on Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager: a beautiful display and reporting. Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response has to start with the compliance, the homepage, etc. Everything should be there and should be customizable. The options should be there. The tool is very good currently, but visibility for IT administrators is lacking and needs to be worked on."
"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."
"The product's reporting isn't great."
"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."
"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."
"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"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 monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"The pricing is manageable."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
