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.

Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership. The support is certainly there.

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.
