Suhas Dalvi - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive protection with minimal false positives enhances threat management
Cynet's real-time threat detection has helped reduce risks for our organization overall. Cynet's centralized control feature is very user-friendly, has a good user interface, and is very convenient, requiring hardly one or two people to manage the entire console, which is not resource-heavy and automates many processes, making it very easy to use without alert fatigue due to low false positives. Autonomous Breach Protection has helped us mitigate threats proactively by being highly automated, requiring very few people to manage it for forensics and investigation due to its low false positive rate, which is less than 1.3%, and it doesn't consume much memory, making it light on the endpoints. Cynet is the only platform in the industry in the endpoint XDR that meets all steps of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, scoring on all 143 odd steps, with a false positive rate of less than 1.3%. Cynet's machine learning algorithms are very effective in adapting to new threats.
Steve Bowtell - PeerSpot reviewer
Exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues
The solution's interface appears very simple, but it is very complicated in the back end. So, it removes all the complications that an MSP or an MSSP would normally have. The solution's maintenance depends on whether you run it like an MDR platform where you provide the detection response part for the customer. That would normally be the MSP part. Sometimes, you have customers who are just happy to get an email and tell them what the problem is, and they fix it themselves. If there's no in-house expertise, the MSP or the MSSP can do the maintenance. If there's in-house expertise, it's just a matter of advising them. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"The solution is exceptionally easy to integrate and covers a multitude of cybersecurity issues."
 

Cons

"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"Their technical support can be improved in terms of speed when opening a ticket."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"There have to be more integrations with other firewalls and domain controllers of the network."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"The solution's security awareness training and phishing are very United States-focused and don't work very well in Australia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"I like Guardz's pricing model because it's very cost-effective and has no long-term commitments."
