    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.

    Most of the security bases applications are very complex to use. but with DeepAmor it's very simple. But also powerful. Since its AI-based cybersecurity solution, it does a good job of preventing different kinds of cyber threats and attacks. With that AI power, we can reduce the risk of security breaches. It's very lightweight and doesn't affect computer resources. and also can manage several devices.

    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.

    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.

    DeepArmor is mostly suitable for small and medium-size businesses. And the pricing is also reasonable.
