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.

High availability, effective VPM, and responsive support
There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"It actively monitors the behavior and activity of processes and will, without hesitation, terminate at root anything it determines to be suspect."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the log inspection and the IPS, which are the most effective compared to other tools."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a firewall-based solution. We just open the required reports to the server—to server communication—and that's how we use Deep Security."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The solution's endpoint protection is the most valuable feature."
"We like the Smart protection and the Virtual patching."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual patching."
 

Cons

"I'd like them to do software distribution too, but they said that that's architecturally not at the product line."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."
"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."
"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
"There could be a centralized management server to oversee all platform functionalities."
"I think more work could be done on Deep Security's ability to handle dynamic threat scenarios."
"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"I would rate tech support in the range of six to eight out of 10. Time to provide solution could be improved."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"There is room for improvement with Trend Micro Deep Security, as there are instances where installations may need to be redone. There seem to be glitches when working with older Windows servers, such as those from 2003 or 2005, requiring us to uninstall and reinstall the product to resolve the issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"​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."
"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 price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was secure and quick. AWS has good prices for a good product."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is average compared to other products on the market; it's neither particularly expensive nor cheap."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"The pricing is fair."
