Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"The solution is stable."
"Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today."
"One of the best features of the solution is that it's easy to deploy."
"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."
"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."
"It secures different entry points into the network."
"​Very easy to deploy. It can be done one by one or deployed by customizing an MSI file for GPO push.​"
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"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."
 

Cons

"It should have better support for Windows and Mac."
"It is hard to manage."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"CylancePROTECT's dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"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."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"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."
"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."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc.​"
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The solution provides me with competitive pricing."
"We pay our license on a yearly basis and have just renewed for two years."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"It's not so heavily priced; rather, it's average and decent."
"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"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."
