A Great Anti-Virus Program
We have been using CylancePROTECT for 3 years now and it has met all of our expectations. The client is light-weight and doesn't use a lot of system resources in order to keep the computer safe. We have it deployed across the whole organization and it has been great. We haven't had one instance of ransomware since installing it on our system where we had one or two isolated events in the past.
- Easy installation
- Lightweight
- Auto updates
- Can be hard to setup.
- Blocks a lot of stuff out of the box that are used daily in companies.
- Hard to resolve issues sometimes.

- No ransomware infections
- Central administration
- Just works
We were on Sophos Anti-Virus and moved to CylancePROTECT. It was a no competition as Sophos was a very resource-intensive product that would slow our systems down when it scanned. CylancePROTECT gave us the ability to look at how the files reacted which allows for a faster notification of issues instead of waiting for a database to be updated.

We use CylancePROTECT on 2,500 endpoints as a replacement for traditional anti-virus. This product proficiently addresses the limitations of traditional signature-based AV. We implemented this before WannaCry hit and proud to say it has been doing a sterling job for over 2 years now.
- Reduces management stress due to higher levels of security assurance.
- Reduces administrative time spent on console review and remediation.
- Low resource utilisation, CPU, Ram, Disk.
- Would like to see more granular control of USB.
- More descriptive intel/info for alerts, eg: reasons why behind the algorithm.

- It is more expensive than the likes of traditional AV or Windows ATP, BUT well worth the additional investment.
- It's saved us a ton of remediation time.
- Provides a high level of assurance.
- The efficacy is far superior compared to traditional anti-virus software.
I have compared CylancePROTECT against several other traditional AV's in a lab environment with some serious new malware and ransomware. Cylance was my clear choice and remain proud of that decision, after 2.5 years. I managed to get 4 out of 4 ransomware infections past in my traditional test versus 0 out of 4 for CylancePROTECT.
