Hadar Eshel - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."
"It does a good job of protecting us."
"The deployment of updates is easy."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"Technical support was perfect."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
 

Cons

"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."
"It is hard to manage."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"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."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"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.​"
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
