Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Compliance reports need to improve."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"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 costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The pricing is high."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
