Alejandro Flores. - PeerSpot reviewer
Good visibility with cloud centralized management and several layers of security
There are some "weak points" that have to be mentioned, including: 1) If the IT department is used to "cloning" endpoints (making images) you are going to have a hard time trying to install the product and you are going to end up reading a lot of Check Point documents. 2) If you are used to the granularity of roles features in Check Point Quantums products you are going to be a little bit disappointed. You can't set customized roles with customized read/write permissions. 3) You need a mature security team to manage this solution in order to get the most value from it.
HERNAN RODRIGUEZ - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use
CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.  The product's technical support is slow.  I have been using the product for three years.  CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.  I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The remote support is good."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"It prevents the most imminent threats to the endpoint such as ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, while quickly minimizing breach impact with autonomous detection and response."
"Its ability to rollback anti-ransomware once an attack has started is the most valuable feature."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured."
"Its most valuable feature is being able to integrate cloud services and centralize the protection policy from a single administration dashboard."
"It monitors data flow across the networking system to enhance comprehensive workflow infrastructure."
"The solution has a high level of trust in the industry."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none."
"Cylance is not a signature-based protection solution and instead works proactively using AI and ML models to patrol for malicious behavior."
"It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"It is a bit early in our evaluation process to give proper feedback, although so far, the overall feedback is good."
"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"It's pretty unintrusive"
 

Cons

"We have observed some policies are not working as expected."
"Specifically, there are gaps when it comes to security."
"We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature."
"Legacy VPNs and digital footprints should be minimized."
"The solution needs better reports and centralized logs."
"Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides should be updated and they should improve their design."
"The network monitoring features must be improved."
"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."
"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."
"The reporting is very weak and not very good at all."
"The tools are ineffective. It flags a lot of things. To give you an example, it detected Google Chrome and blocked the user's access to it. That it mistook for malicious, which turned out to be a false positive."
"The product's technical support is slow."
"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console."
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three different licensing models including basic, advanced, and complete, and it needs to be selected according to the endpoint."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint is cost effective."
"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there is a cost for support."
"The cost is huge compared to other products that are available on market."
"The product is averagely priced. The product price is neither very high nor too low. The tool is not really expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It costs around ₱2,200 per endpoint."
"I rate the product price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"CylanceOPTICS is probably priced equal to other EDRs in the market."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of five."
"We pay for the number of endpoints we have and that is about it. On a monthly basis, the licensing cost is $55 per user."
"The pricing for CylanceOPTICS is very good; I would rate it around a nine on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the lowest. It's one of the most affordable options I've seen."
