AMBARISH PATKAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized control effectively manages devices while updates require powered-on systems
I use Bitdefender GravityZone EDR for the grooming industry. It is primarily utilized for the office environment The features I find most effective for threat detection include centralized control policy distribution and the control of independent devices, such as printers, laptops, and desktops…
Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer

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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is stable. It has a small footprint, but it does a lot of heavy lifting."
"We like the dashboard, the console, the reporting. It's very easy to deploy."
"It is stable."
"The advantage of the solution is that it has a console on the cloud and you can update the clients."
"GravityZone can be controlled from the cloud."
"The cloud management is easy and useful, especially in our case when we have multiple offices in different locations."
"The performance is great."
"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra is the ETX and ETM endpoint protection."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be faster and more responsive."
"Areas for improvement would be performance and pricing."
"They should include the Hebrew language for its technical support in terms of communication."
"The cryptosystem could be improved a bit."
"The solution's workflow is very cumbersome and should be improved."
"They need to improve the dashboard by adding a dedicated executive view. This view should provide executives with a clear overview of what's happening."
"Application Control should be available on the cloud."
"I have not had used the EDR portion of the solution to do any custom scripting to allow further advanced operations on the endpoints. From what I understand from reading the comments on reviews is that it is not particularly flexible in this regard."
"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."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"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."
"Their technical support can be improved in terms of speed when opening a ticket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"When I first started using this solution I was paying $80 annually. I did not pay any additional fees. There are other solutions that are cheaper on the market."
"Bitdefender GravityZone Ultra's pricing is competitive in the market."
"The product has a reasonable price."
"We need to pay for a yearly license for the solution."
"There is a fully functional trial that we used and we didn't have any issues."
"If you look at the solution's price point, it's actually low market value, especially in comparison to other ones."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"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's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
