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.

Have maintained strong endpoint protection through behavioral analysis and daily monitoring
I previously mentioned that Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business doesn't have built-in DLP, which was a concern. I think they could add it in the future; however, antivirus cannot provide a proper DLP solution, but they can offer a mix of DLP, similar to Trend Micro Apex One, which provides some sort of DLP file management. Nonetheless, we need a proper DLP solution such as Forcepoint or Symantec, whichever suits us. We'll be conducting performance evaluation in the next quarter while working on other projects. More value means a better GUI, user interface, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. In Sophos, we receive a daily system-generated report about what is happening, plus an alert system. The reporting system in Trend Micro is also excellent; I receive an email every day at 10:00 AM with a report for the last 24 hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"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 solution’s AI is its most valuable feature."
"What I like best about CylancePROTECT is its accuracy, as it doesn't give many false positives."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"I have found the security, device, web and application controls to be the most valuable features."
"The hardware hardware detection is the most valuable feature. The feature where you can block and unblock mobile devices is also good."
"The security is very good, compared to some other products."
"We have had no troubles installing, maintaining, or deploying the product for our clients."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business detects malware and is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features for us include data security, as well as web browsing and password management security measures."
 

Cons

"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"If they can add more features on top of their Persona feature that would be ideal."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"The initial deployment was quite complicated."
"I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices."
"The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting."
"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."
"It is hard to manage."
"This product could be improved by integration with Linux. The one limitation this product has is that it's not compatible with and doesn't offer protection for Linux servers. It could also be easier to configure."
"It is expensive, it could be cheaper, so I think the solution's pricing could be better."
"If someone has the older version of the solution, and wants to install a newer version, they must remove all of the previous applications. Otherwise, there will be issues with the solution."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"I would like to see enhancements made with respect to the administration."
"The encryption feature could improve."
"It should be more secure and detect new malware as it's released."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"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.​"
"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 product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
