Considered Both Products
Cylance Smart Antivirus
Chose Cylance Smart Antivirus
Cylance Protect is a solid solution and stacks well against other providers in the marketplace. I think the choice of solutions boils down to the customers' requirements, budget, and appetite for risk. I see a solid play in small- to medium-sized businesses.
Chose Cylance Smart Antivirus
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.
Chose Cylance Smart Antivirus
Cylance was the first AI scanning-based AV on the market. While Webroot was competitive we found Cylance to be the better solution.

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.

Usability
BlackBerry
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.
