Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet is very affordable."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
