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…
Timothy Muriithi - PeerSpot reviewer
I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems, and the fact that there is an open source version
Setting OpenEDR was challenging at first, but I got it done by following their documentation and online videos. You need to install the client and configure it to work with their online open platform. Next, you have to configure it on the device if it's a phone. You input a cloud link to the EDR, so you can monitor it from the cloud. There isn't any maintenance aside from updating the client. It's mostly on the cloud.

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."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Cons

"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"There have to be more integrations with other firewalls and domain controllers of the network."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is cheap."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
