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

"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"It has quite good detection and response features; they are improving continuously."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"As a reseller, I believe the best functions in Cynet's product are the lightweight agent and good detection performance."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"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."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"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."
 

Cons

"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"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 to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"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."
"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."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"The price is very competitive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"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."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"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."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
