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…

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard
In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"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 like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"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."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use. The dashboards are good. The reports are good. It is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."
 

Cons

"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"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."
"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."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"There are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"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."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"The price is very competitive."
