We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one.

CB Response allows for a better view of what happened on the endpoint and provides more functionality out of the box then the FireEye Endpoint Security Product. CB Response allows you to basically have a remote connection into the CLI of an endpoint. This allows you to view the file system, run programs/scripts on the host, etc. FireEye Endpoint Security does not have this functionality.
