Provides effective incident response and investigation features
We also use Palo Alto's XDR, SentinelOne, Trend Micro, and quite a few others. SentinelOne is nice because you have a centralized dashboard. You just have a single instance and can manage all your clients from one central dashboard, which Cybereason currently lacks. It hinders our use case because we have to redeploy our rules. However, SentinelOne's search feature is slightly more limited than Cybereason's. SentinelOne's search feature is very restrictive, and they have a certain way you have to do it. If you don't follow that way, you're kind of stuck. The deployability is the same, and we have not had scalability issues. We don't work with a larger client. Our largest deployment was about 3,000 endpoints. Cybereason's tech support or the support engineer tends to be slightly better than SentinelOne's because there is no direct contact for support in our region. We usually have to reach out to either the European or the American branches for assistance. There's a bit of a time delay or something that happens. Those are the only major differences.

Efficient endpoint protection features and highly stable and scalable solution
Our primary use case would be incident response Cynet has mostly helped with endpoint protection. Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"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."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
 

Cons

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"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."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"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."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"The pricing was good."
