    Its middle of the road and should suit most applications well

    You need to have some domain expertise when deploying this type of solution. It is not difficult for an intermediate-skill person to deploy. Fine-tuning will take time and patience to sift through false positive alerts in alert mode, since there is no official learning mode. I think small- to medium-sized businesses with limited IT budget and expertise could benefit from this solution.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • An instant scan of file level downloads so that introduction of a variant file is limited before the scan engine clears it.
    • Dashboard use of the agents available allows for near real-time review and action without directed access to the station.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Dashboard refresh when you have over 100 end agents can be lagging at times
    • The agent install process has potential to hang without alert or warning unless your paying attention through the complete install
    • The silent install process can be problematic when dealing with large-scale networks with varied OS models

    I think the usability is solid for the small-to-medium market. I am not familiar with an enterprise deployment or constraints for that market size. I think the ease of use, deployment, and cost model make it attractive to small- and medium-sized businesses looking to build their security posture.

    Cylance is a very competitive product. The only reason we went with Microsoft Defender is the bundling of multiple products from the same vendor and having one central console to manage our devices.
