Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"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."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."
"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."
"The product is stable."
"It offers good scalability."
 

Cons

"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"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."
"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"
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"The website rules are too complicated."
"The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is scalable. My company has 800-1000 customers."
