Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"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 initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
 

Cons

"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"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."
"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."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
