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.

Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."
"You can manage all the threats and everything from a centralized dashboard."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue.​"
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"I find the actual overall endpoint malware protection the most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT."
"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"I like trap prevention DNS and threat prevention."
"Initially, the DLP was very valuable for disabling access to USB drives."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The product is easy to use."
"The performance is good."
"The tool has contributed to improving our security posture. While it's just one part of our overall solution, it plays a crucial role. As we continue to evolve, we anticipate it becoming even more important alongside other aspects like network behavior and additional metrics."
 

Cons

"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."
"It is hard to manage."
"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"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 should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"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."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
"It would be nice if the solution was a bit more stable."
"The agent is very heavy, so we have to ensure that we have a lightweight agent for Windows systems."
"Malware detection can be better. It doesn't have support and detection for the recent malware, but it has a compensatory control where it can do the behavior-based assessment and alert you when there is something malicious or unexpected. For example, when a certain user is executing the privilege command, which is not normal. These dynamic detections are good, and they compensate for malware detection."
"MVISION Endpoint is only compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 2016 and above. If I were using a Linux operating system, I would not be able to use MVISION Endpoint."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"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 license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"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.​"
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"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."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
