BlackBerry Protect (CylancePROTECT) vs. SafeConsole

If I had to recommend an endpoint AV solution, [BlackBerry Protect (CylancePROTECT)] would be on the list...in fact at the top of the current list. It is a cost effective solution. When we did the bakeoff in our selection we built 3 generic W10 PCs. We located a Malware repository on the internet and downloaded a package of 100. The first solution stopped 80% from installing, the second stopped 100%, [BlackBerry (CylancePROTECT)] would not let the package download! Winner winner chicken dinner :)

• Cylance uses AI Math-Model algorithms/machine-learning solutions, compared to other solutions which use signature-based solutions.
• The Cylance client is very light-weight and is not as resource hungry.
• The blocking capability is completely customizable through policies. Macro blocking, script blocking, and device blocking (USB, CDROM, iPhone, Android, etc.) can all be customized per organization needs.
• Management interface is easy to use. The dashboard gives administrators a quick glance at threat events, threat protection, and device protection. Reports give you quick glances at infections, stale versions, and computers that have been offline for a period of time. Updates are easy to roll out in a tiered fashion to properly test.
• Customer support is great! You can open up a ticket within the management portal and get help within a few hours. Most of the support is over email unless it is complicated, then they will do a remote session.

• It would be great if there was a way for an administrator to make a file as safe from the end user device when a false positive has occurred (which is rare). At present and administrator has to log into the web console, create an exception and then wait 60-120 seconds for this to be effective on the end user device, still great, but this can be frustrating for users that are urgently trying to use the file.
• Executive reporting could be better. Just a single page dashboard report that could be included in other monthly reporting.

It's simply been the best product I've used and tested within the past four years.

I work with hundreds of complex suppliers in healthcare and tech, and this company is more than just an extension of our business.

I have only used CylancePROTECT support one time and they were very fast and responsive with the answers that solved my issue. That is the only reason I gave them a 7 as I have only had one interaction with them.

At the time we were looking to upgrade to the Blackberry version, we already had the Dell branded version of Cylance installed on our machines and we really liked it. Once we got the pricing comparison between Carbon Black and Blackberry we made the decision to stick with Cylance since we knew it was proven to work well in our environment with some of our unique software.

• We are spending less time troubleshooting potential attacks - all alerts go to our management interface and we can globally clear/block items.
• Users are not getting upset at the resources taken by antivirus - they feel they got their speedy machine back.
