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…
Nagesh-Ng - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a single console to control all applications and URL filtering
I am satisfied with the malware detection capabilities of the solution. At our company, using the product we haven't found any incidents or threats that couldn't be easily resolved. Most of the customers of Trend Micro ServerProtect in our organization belong to the Healthcare industry. I have witnessed smooth integrations with Trend Micro ServerProtect. I haven't yet noticed any AI capabilities in the product. I would recommend others to adopt Trend Micro ServerProtect as it can be easily installed and managed. The product assists in administration. The solution is a perfect fit for the SMB segment. I would rate Trend Micro ServerProtect an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"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."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"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."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"Technical support was perfect."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"The most beneficial aspects of Trend Micro ServerProtect are its user-friendly console, allowing anyone to configure policies easily, and the excellent support provided."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
 

Cons

"Compliance reports need to improve."
"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."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"There have to be more integrations with other firewalls and domain controllers of the network."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"They need to improve in this area by providing more documentation and custom scripts for bulk enterprise deployments."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The price is very competitive."
"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."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"The pricing was good."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
