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.
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

"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"The solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"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."
"It provides good insight into the programs, applications, or websites that may need attention."
"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"​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."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"It is hard to manage."
"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"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."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"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.​"
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"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."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"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."
