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.

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

"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
 

Cons

"The command line interface could be improved."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"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 want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"The price is very competitive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
