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.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection

We use Nyotron PARANOID to protect endpoints. It serves as a second and last line of protection. It often detects threats that other endpoint protection systems such as Symantec, McAfee, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes may overlook Nyotron PARANOID used to include a SOC. Every endpoint,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."

"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."

"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."

"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."

"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."

"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."

"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."

"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."

"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."

Cons

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."

"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 could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."

"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."

"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."

"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."

"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."

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."

"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."

"Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."

"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc."
