Performance is competitive while setup support needs improvement
From a technical perspective, the product has no issues. The main consideration is cost, as customers are unwilling to pay high amounts for security solutions. I purchase the product from CrowdStrike and sell it to customers. CylanceOPTICS is now owned by North Arctic, after being acquired from BlackBerry, who had previously acquired it from Cylance. When customers approached us wanting an EDR product with technical capabilities, we presented two choices: CrowdStrike and CylanceOPTICS. While both products were good, CylanceOPTICS was chosen based on price-performance ratio. The solution serves primarily data center businesses and other companies. The product's features, reporting, and alert generation were well-received by customers. Though CrowdStrike has excellent features, CylanceOPTICS proved more cost-effective. The interface is somewhat complex, but this is appropriate for a security product. A technical team is essential for successful implementation. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Blackberry Optics?
I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I would give it a close ten as possible because, like SentinelOne, I've seen incompatibility. Whereas Cylance, I've seen none.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Blackberry Optics?
CylanceOPTICS is probably priced equal to other EDRs in the market. Price-wise, considering what it has to offer, you could probably get a better product.
What needs improvement with Blackberry Optics?
I am not aware of the exact pricing and list prices currently. We received special pricing on multiple occasions.
