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…
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"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."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Technical support was perfect."
"Performance is very good."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"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."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
 

Cons

"I think the technical support could be better."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"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."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
