Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Low performance requirements."
"Speed"
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
 

Cons

"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"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."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was good."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is high."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is probably on the cheaper side, so I would rate their pricing a one or a two out of ten.
