Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"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."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
 

Cons

"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 is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"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."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."
"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"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."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."
