Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Provides protection against malware but needs improved billing transparency
I can only speak to it on a personal level. If someone is considering it, they should test it on their own systems. I can't personally recommend it because each person has their own needs. While it may work for me as a malware antivirus solution, I can't recommend it to someone else who may have a different system or use case. I rate the overall solution 7.5 out of 10. Malwarebytes protects me against malware. If they fix the pricing model so it's not automatically charging me, the rating could improve. Until then, I can't give it an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"Being able to carry out a full scan on your system."
"The product provides notifications for suspicious events. We have several public access points. The product helps to prevent unauthorized entry. Its most valuable features are pre-installation procedures and a cloud console. The console's interface is simple and can be viewed easily to take action. It covers everything in terms of security threats."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"The product keeps our company safe."
"The behavior-based detection is very nice, and it combats zero-day threats by looking for anomalous behaviors."
"The pricing of the product is very good."
"The platform is straightforward to install."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
 

Cons

"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"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."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"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."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The product update capability needs to be improved."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"The interface could be improved. Currently, you need to really dig around to find the elements you need."
"Malwarebytes is not there in the reports from Gartner or IDC...If we look at the market trends and the industry, most customers look at Gartner's reports to identify whether a product is a leader, challenger, or a big product, depending on which they choose."
"The free version is effective, however, the paid version is pricey compared to it."
"Notifications are lacking."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"I would like to see a little more detail in the log. So, when an event occurs, I'd like to know not just when it happened and on what device, but what activity was taking place on the machine at the time so that we can drill down. If we get a false positive, we have to do a lot of research and go back and forth with our end-users to know why it was a false positive. So, having a little more detail around detections and events would probably be my most asked feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was good."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the product's pricing a seven."
"It is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Malwarebytes is in the middle range compared to other vendors."
"The cost may be something in the ballpark of $20-25 a year per computer."
"Malwarebytes is a cost-effective product."
"Yearly, it is around $50 per client."
"I believe the retail price is between $40 and $50 per copy."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Malwarebytes?
Ten times a day, improved signatures will be downloaded, so it is very up-to-date in terms of malware experience.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Malwarebytes?
I really hate the automatic rebilling without officially confirming it with me. It's an annoyance and they should at least confirm with me, like a month before they bill me.
What needs improvement with Malwarebytes?
It takes up too much space when it's trying to run in the background.
