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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus."
"The most valuable feature of CylancePROTECT is the support."
"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"I've found the AI engine in CylancePROTECT to be particularly effective for technology and in preventing unknown threats."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
 

Cons

"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"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."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"​It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"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."
"The solution’s technical support 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."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
