Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Vincacyber
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

"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."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"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."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It has quite good detection and response features; they are improving continuously."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"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 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."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"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."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"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."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"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."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."

Questions from the Community

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is probably on the cheaper side, so I would rate their pricing a one or a two out of ten.
What needs improvement with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection?
