Arvin Nuhandya - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and best suitable for small to medium businesses
Setting up Bitdefender is easy if there is no existing endpoint protection. If there is, it gets a bit more complicated. You will need to remove any current security software on your computer or endpoint before installing Bitdefender to avoid conflicts. Deployment involved registering online and, during the process, we encountered minimal issues. Any problems were quickly resolved by referring to the well-defined website resources. The deployment team consisted of just one or two people, given that we are an SMB company. The entire deployment took approximately two hours. Maintaining Bitdefender is easy, especially with the cloud-based version. However, in an on-premise setup using the call function, it might involve moving from PC to PC for upkeep.
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.
