"The solution is well integrated with applications. It is easy to maintain and administer."
"I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there."
"The most valuable feature of all is the full integration with the rest of the software in the operating system and Office 365, as well as Microsoft SCCM. It is quite easy for us to work with the whole instance of Microsoft products. This integration improves the benefits of the whole suite of products."
"Among the most valuable features are the alert timeline, the alert story, which is pretty detailed. It gives us complete insight into what exactly happened on the endpoint. It doesn't just say, "Malware detected." It tells us what caused that malware to be detected and how it was detected. It gives us a complete timeline from beginning to end."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a good solution and easy to use."
"The Endpoint Manager is incredible; it has a very straightforward interface and is exceedingly easy to use. Pulling out and deploying different tags or resources is a simple task across various departments with different levels of security. The notifications are also simple and satisfying; it's great to see the bubble informing us which devices are compliant and which are waiting to update."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"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."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"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."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"The most valuable feature is the anti-ransomware capability. It's been helpful because we have been seeing a lot of information around what the ransomware hit."
"The solution is overall quite good, the services are performing well. It is very good for those who are using standard PC configurations. It does not block their system up by taking up a lot of resources."
"A valuable feature offered by Sophos is called Naked Security, and it entails the control managed by the firewall on the site regarding the desktop client interfacing with our cloud client."
"Technical support is responsive and adept."
"It is an intelligent tool."
"The performance is good."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"What could be improved in Microsoft 365 Defender is its licensing, e.g. it should be more consolidated and would be good if it has some optimizations. Improving the alerts and notifications, in terms of adding more details, would also be good for this solution."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The solution does not offer a unified response and standard data."
"The console is missing some features that would be helpful for a managed services provider, like device and user management."
"The capability to not only thwart attacks but also to adapt to evolving threats is crucial."
"The management features could be improved, particularly in terms of better integration with Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based management solution."
"It would be beneficial to have a more seamless experience with everything consolidated in one place, particularly when dealing with aspects related to the Exchange console."
"Automated playbooks and automated dashboards would be preferable to the way the data is currently being presented."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"In terms of the site-to-site VPN elements, they tend to concentrate. It's quite simple when there are Meraki devices at both ends of the VPN but if there is another user at one end, on another device, it can be a bit tricky. So they could really simplify that process a bit."
"I would like to have a built-in firewall, rather than having to integrate one."
"The initial setup was not very user-friendly."
"The Data Loss Prevention module can be better. It should also have threat hunting capabilities."
"Deployment on cloud needs to be carried out manually."
"Mobile device management is a challenging area, and it can be improved. Some areas in the DLP solution can also be improved. It has the DLP capability, but it is not an all-out DLP program. I would like to see them improve the DLP solution in terms of reporting and possibly network monitoring. Currently, they only do the reporting parts of it."
"The security is good but the feature set is limited."
"The performance is very slow and should be faster."
