Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…
Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"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 SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"We can scale the solution."
"We've found the solution to be stable."
"The pricing is decent."
"It's scalable enough for us."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
 

Cons

"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"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."
"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 license prices for this solution are quite high."
"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."
"We would like to have better strategic information."
"They could provide a source of visualization for the product."
"I am not happy with Kaspersky's support since basic support is very cool unless you pay for some advanced support, in which you get better responses and feedback from Kaspersky's team."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"The pricing was good."
"The price is very competitive."
"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."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"Kaspersky is licensed on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
