It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"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 did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
 

Cons

"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."

"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."

"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."

"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."

"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"The pricing was good."
"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."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
