Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The CylancePROTECT agent is very low on CPU usage, so it has virtually no adverse impact on my servers, desktops, or workstations."
"Has good RAM capacity for the power I need"
"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."
"Endpoints are protected in real-time without the need of a centralized server."
"The solution runs in the background, and I do not need to care about it."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the product's detection rates and streamlining the user interface for easier management in daily operations would be beneficial improvements."
"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."
"It is hard to manage."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"Additionally, their channel management has been lacking, with a notable disregard for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing primarily on large enterprises and very large MSPs."
"The OPTICS component could be made more user-friendly with respect to giving people more information."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive."
"The price for this EPP platform is expensive and could be improved."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."
"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."
"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"It is expensive, but not unreasonable."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
