Suhas Dalvi - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive protection with minimal false positives enhances threat management
Cynet's real-time threat detection has helped reduce risks for our organization overall. Cynet's centralized control feature is very user-friendly, has a good user interface, and is very convenient, requiring hardly one or two people to manage the entire console, which is not resource-heavy and automates many processes, making it very easy to use without alert fatigue due to low false positives. Autonomous Breach Protection has helped us mitigate threats proactively by being highly automated, requiring very few people to manage it for forensics and investigation due to its low false positive rate, which is less than 1.3%, and it doesn't consume much memory, making it light on the endpoints. Cynet is the only platform in the industry in the endpoint XDR that meets all steps of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, scoring on all 143 odd steps, with a false positive rate of less than 1.3%. Cynet's machine learning algorithms are very effective in adapting to new threats.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"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 feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"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."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"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."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

The support team that stands behind the detection and response. Is there adequate expertise and are they behind you 24x7x365? Cynet CyOps has been there for us.
