Provides streamlined deployment, intuitive usability, quick response times, high scalability, excellent stability and responsive support making it a comprehensive and reliable cybersecurity option
I like Cynet because, in my experience, it's incredibly fast and intuitive. The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand. The most critical function of the product for maintaining our cybersecurity environment is the rapid deployment of policies to the agents. This is particularly crucial considering our diverse workforce, with many employees working remotely or directly at customer sites. Unlike other solutions that might not be as cloud-based or easy to manage, Cynet excels in swiftly and accurately sending policies to the agents. This capability has been immensely valuable, especially during times when our developers are heavily engaged across multiple customer projects. With Cynet, we've experienced minimal issues with agents failing to receive or apply policies, ensuring that our security measures are consistently and promptly implemented across the board.

Monitors our systems 24/7, offers robust threat scanning features and easy to use
FireEye offers a great suite of tools. I like its threat analyzer and other features. We have FireEye Endpoint Security installed on all our desktops, laptops, and servers throughout the network. It's been crucial to monitor threats 24/7, both external and internal.  It's capable of stopping…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"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."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"The independent modules are very good."
"FireEye Endpoint Security's scalability is awesome. I think it is one of the best on that front."
"It's good that it periodically scans all my drives. I can stay up to date with the status of my drivers and update them if needed."
"It is very valuable in finding out unknown malware."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"Trellix integrates well with most SIEM and data classification solutions."
 

Cons

"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"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."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The price should be improved, it's high."
"We would like to solution to offer better security."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The product could be flexible and offer better pricing."
"I would like to see more automation."
"The product’s on-premise version is costly in terms of extra charges for SQL database and Windows server licenses."
"Endpoint resource utilization causes high levels of instability and that is something that needs improvement."
"The email protection isn't efficient enough, and I'd like to see DLP features in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"The price is very competitive."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"Cynet is cheap."
"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."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"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."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
"The price of the product is similar to the ones in the market that offer the same features."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
