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.

Recognizes and mitigates a wide array of spam and phishing attempts
This is one of the best solutions for servers for advanced users. Advanced users, such as those working with banks and who have to make payments, are exposed to more attacks. The people whose job is to write, create invoices, register products, or do quotes. They don't need the EPR. They can use a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"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."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"Their remote management (RMM) is very good."
"It prevents our users from circumventing security. Everything is password protected so they can't get into it. They can't uninstall it. They can't do anything."
"We have control over our devices, specifically USB ports, allowing us to block or control the traffic."
"It allows us to stop activation windows."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"Adaptive Defense is pretty easy to use, and Panda support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its device control."
 

Cons

"The user interface is outdated."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems."
"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."
"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"t would help if it would monitor the network better."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."
"They need to expand their offering of add-ons to enhance capabilities further."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"It needs improvements in its EDR and its ability to manage all the nodes. I'd like better communication between the console and the nodes, so I don't have to remote into each individual machine that's having an issue with the protection."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"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."
"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
