Cylance Smart Antivirus is Smart for some but not for all

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Cylance as our endpoint protection software (or antivirus). We replaced Sentinel 1 with Cylance when we switched our Managed Security Services Provider. We used it on all workstations and servers, and it did keep them secure. We relied heavily on our MSSP for implementation and configuration.
Pros and Cons
  • Blocking Scripts
  • Stopping remote exploits
  • easy to install
  • False Positives
  • Difficult to troubleshoot
  • Difficult to use
Likelihood to Recommend
Cylance Smart Antivirus is a decent solution for a consumer or private setting. I would have no hesitation recommending it to my mom or grandma. In a corporate setting though, with managed workstations, it gets in the way more than it secures. It will block Windows processes like error reporting.
Most Important Features
  • Security
  • Reduce Risk
  • Price
Return on Investment
  • Too much time to manage.
  • Too many false positives.
  • Too much lost productivity.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a managed services provider we provide Antivirus for our clients. We settled on Cylance Smart Antivirus for our clients because of its next-generation AI for antivirus and antimalware scanning. It has provided to us great capabilities in order to not have issues with ransomware or viruses across our 3,000 endpoints.
Pros and Cons
  • Antivirus Scanning
  • Low Resource Utilization
  • Malware Scanning
  • Better functionality to whitelist on the Application.
  • Easier to setup Mobile Settings
  • Easier to understand logs
Likelihood to Recommend
Cylance Smart Antivirus is well suited for the typical office user. It can be very restrictive if you do not tune it properly and can cause many issues. When tuned and set up properly it is appropriate for 95% of use cases. The last 5% are ones that have the capabilities of bringing an organization down if it is not tuned properly.
Most Important Features
  • AI Learning Scanning
  • Low Resource Utilization
  • Ease of Pushing out to end users
Return on Investment
  • Caused less crypto infections
  • Less time required to clean up virus'
Alternatives Considered
  • Webroot Antivirus + Internet Security Complete (SecureAnywhere)
Cylance was the first AI scanning-based AV on the market. While Webroot was competitive we found Cylance to be the better solution.
