Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"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."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"It's easy to use."
"This product is easy to use."
"Kaspersky includes web protection and user protection features. Web threat protection ensures that users are immediately protected whenever they browse the internet and encounter potentially harmful websites. This process helps safeguard users, and Kaspersky certifies websites to enhance the browsing experience."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business has models that provide more security than other solutions"
"The centralized management is a nice features. It gives us the leeway to deal with other things as protection is being carried on in the background. We do not have to keep on watching as long as we have the right updates. It also saves us time."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects against viruses and dangerous software, and it's also great because it has a component that is useful for the deployment of software versions to the end user's computer."
 

Cons

"Compliance reports need to improve."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"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."
"I would like to see better reporting."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"I'd like Kaspersky to be more stable and secure."
"It would be beneficial to have more robust cloud management capabilities for Endpoint."
"I would like to see better-enhanced features, such as protection against ransomware and different types of malicious malware."
"The solution could be a lot lighter. You really feel it when the laptop starts."
"We are having some troubles because some American companies we work with don't want to work with Kaspersky."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."

"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing is affordable. We bought a three-year license. There are no additional costs in addition to the standard license fees."
