Overall Satisfaction with Cylance

Cylance bridges the gap between traditional anti-virus solutions that often fall short when faced with our hyper-changing threat landscape. Leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence, Cylance appears to be able to make decisions on the fly regarding the trustworthiness of a running application. While old staples like McAfee and Symantec will always remain, newcomers like Cylance continue to force businesses into rethinking strategy which ultimately leads to growth.
  • Ease of deployment.
  • Ease of administration.
  • Very low false positive detection while finding things that other AV vendors would miss.
  • The cloud interface leaves some to be desired but Cylance has continuously improved this as well.
  • Compatibility with existing security products may hinder full utilization.
  • Over saturation of advertisement may lead to increased skepticism.
  • Increased visibility into threats that were otherwise undetected.
  • Fast deployment with minimal administrative overhead.
  • Cost inhibited full adoption.
The technology is incredible and even more than that, its very scalable. There appears to be no fundamental difference between deploying this solution to a large enterprise or a small doctor's office. For the benefit of consumers everywhere, this solution should be made even more available to the private market.
