Featured Reviews

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

We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."
"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."
"Version 14.0 comes with an SQL database, which gives great flexibility on control, reviewing logs, and viewing history."
"It helps improve security in our organization."
"The solution provides high-end security that is critical for financial institutions and bankers."
"The content filtering options are good."
"The product is very easy to use."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
 

Cons

"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"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."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Installing Kaspersky is complex. It requires more work from system admins and takes almost one week to deploy, including integration and mapping with other solutions. You also have to configure Kaspersky EDR sandboxing then set up permissions for various teams and customers."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"I would like better integration with other products."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"The technical support team should respond in a more timely manner."
"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"The Kaspersky console could be easier to navigate and generate reports from."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."
"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."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
