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.

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.

Pros

"The solution is pretty easy to scale."
"The Application Guard and ByteGuard are useful features."
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"We are quite security-focused. Blackberry Protect as an endpoint solution for our service really delivers what we are expecting."

Cons

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"​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."

"Reporting is an area with shortcomings in CylancePROTECT that needs to be improved."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."

"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."
"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."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."

"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."
"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 solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Review closely how many endpoints you actually need before buying into a pricing level. Deal and deal with the VAR of your choice."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"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."
