Easy to use
CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.  The product's technical support is slow.  I have been using the product for three years.  CylanceOPTICS is easy to use.  I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 
AnikIslam - PeerSpot reviewer
Automatic update feature could be better and multi-layered protection capability needs enhancement
The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective. It also provides web threat protection by blocking unwanted websites. It provides multi-layered protection. Although it could be more efficient, it is sufficient for regular purposes. I would not recommend it based on my experience. I rate it a three out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's pretty unintrusive"
"It automatically blocks the threats, helping us investigate if they harm the environment."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward. To get a large health care organization sorted, we had to create exemptions because some of the scripts and some of the automations were broken."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to respond to zero-day and unknown threats."
"CylanceOPTICS is easy to use."
"The solution has a high level of trust in the industry."
"You can use the solution to query certain things."
"CylanceOPTICS is pretty stable."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."
"In terms of software performance, it has been effective in providing good security."
"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."
"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."
"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."
"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."
"In Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, anti-phishing and anti-malware are two very powerful aspects."
 

Cons

"One minor issue that somebody mentioned was that they didn't like their management console."
"Our customers would like to see more automation with respect to how threats are handled once they have been detected."
"The product's technical support is slow."
"The product's initial setup process could be easy."
"It takes more time to investigate or dig up and understand what's going on."
"Too many false positives are reported."
"The detection component is something that they have to work on."
"CylanceOPTICS could benefit from more granular control in the timeline-building process. Ideally, users would be able to drill deeper into the analysis rather than have the machine dictate the direction."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"One area where the product could be improved is in its delivery and installation process."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."
"Kaspersky's cloud solution should be improved because the on-premises features are unavailable in the cloud."
"Certain shortcomings in the anti-ransomware part of the solution need improvement. XDR and MDR, along with threat hunting, a big step in cybersecurity today, need improvement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."

"I would rate the pricing a three out of five."
