The installation phase is easy.
In terms of deployment, you can just have a centralized deployment involving PDQ Deploy, or you can have Cylance downloaded and then run it on individual endpoints.
For a size of more than 200 deployments, a company may need two to three staff members to take care of the centralized deployment phase.

Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable.
You start the program, make a few clicks, and then enter an extension code into it. Then it begins to mute services before installing. It's fairly simple, maybe five or six minutes.
We never implemented a single solution. We completed what is known as the university installation, and it does the bundle installation. The single-bite variant was never used. We used the bundle to make it easier.

The initial setup was fine. It's doesn't take a long time to deploy.
Uninstalling is difficult. Sometimes it doesn't remove easily, and that is frustrating.
It would be nice if it had an uninstalled feature within the dashboard, in the SAS part of the application online, because it would do everything itself. Unless it is something that I have missed or that I didn't see.
With FortiEDR you can go in, and you can uninstall from the dash, find the endpoint you right-click, or you click a button, then you choose to uninstall and it pulls it from the machine. You don't have to put in any keys, or anything. It does it from there. I don't believe that Cylance does that, but it would be nice if it did.
We have a team of two, myself and my colleague maintain this solution.

How long deployment takes depends on the client. For a bigger client, it might take around two weeks for every device to be deployed, but for a small business with a few employees, deploying CylancePROTECT might take a few days.

Orlando Barbosa
Head of Systems at SKN Caribecafe Ltda
The initial setup was a little bit complex. We had to take some time learning the machines and how to protect ourselves. That part of the implementation took a good amount of time.
We had a few problems setting everything up, and with those issues, it took us maybe two months to deploy the product in total.
We currently have one person that handles the maintenance of the solution for us. He's an engineer.

The software is installed on a VM and we have about 70 machines in total. The deployment took about two days.

We don't integrate or set the system up. I couldn't speak to how the deployment process happens, or how easy or hard it is. That's not an aspect of the solution we handle. We have nothing to do with implementing or managing the solution.
