Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"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 most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."
"The ease of deployment has been good."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."
"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."
 

Cons

"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 would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."
"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."
"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"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."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"The pricing was good."
"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
