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

"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"Low performance requirements."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
 

Cons

"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 functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"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."
"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."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"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."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"The pricing was good."
"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."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"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."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"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."
"The pricing is high."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"It is relatively cheap."

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