Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

"In most cases, the solution's ability to detect in the MITRE framework, and its ability to be able to detect attacks in any one of seven or eight different areas of the life cycle of an attack is very useful."

"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."

"What's most valuable in CylancePROTECT is the optics feature. I also like its easy-to-use and user-friendly dashboard and monitoring system."

"The most functional item that we use is the process to turn off the false flags that it causes."

"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."

"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."

"We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."

"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."

"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."

"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."

"It needs real analysis of quarantined files. The EDR product isn't showing much right now."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."

"An area for improvement in CylancePROTECT is its pricing, as it's a bit costly."

"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."

"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."

"It could have integration with industrial base HMIS or Human Machine Interfaces Solutions. This is the industrial environment where you have a control center for all the automation that's happening, whether it is oil, gas, or chemical manufacturing. They often have to set up a computer at the back and watch the other stuff to get alerts. In these autonomous or on-premises environments, they often don't have access to email readily. Integration with other industrial solutions, such as HMIS, will allow them to communicate and get an alert that something has been found. This way, they can react to it sooner than having somebody watch the screen and keep checking the screen. Rockwell has its own suite. Similarly, Honeywell has its own suite. There's also an independent HMI/historian solution provider out there called VTSCADA. We actually get asked if we can get it to show up on a screen, which is difficult. Getting those alerts to work within an industrial environment would be a huge plus."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."

"I think that the price we are paying is good for what it is."

"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."

"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
