Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product. Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today. Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue. Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server. Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push. The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations. | It is stable. |
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. 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 management console needs a little maturity in how it presents data and allows the administrator to drill down or search across systems. | Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night. 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. 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. | Information Not Available |
