Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT
I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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

"The platform's most valuable features are the malware detection capabilities."
"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."
"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."
"The most valuable features are script blocking and macros within Word documents for stopping unwanted applications from running in the background."
"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."
"CylancePROTECT works on AI technology, is always up to date, and uses very few resources on your devices."
"CylancePROTECT is very stable - we've had no issues with performance and no errors or bugs."
"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"It has quite good detection and response features; they are improving continuously."
 

Cons

"The product needs to continue to offer better alerts. In particular, around false positives. It needs to reduce them from happening."
"Having worked with SentinelOne, Cylance is good, however, it probably needs to add a feature similar to SentinelOne's rollback functionality. With this feature, if you get infected, with a click, you can go back to the pre-infection state. If Cylance could add this functionality to their offering as well, that would be ideal."
"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."
"They could improve on the false positives, reporting and whitelisting features."
"It is hard to manage."
"rom my experience interacting with the primary or the central administrative console, it's quite complex. You would need a fair bit of technical experience to set it up, implement and maintain it. That would be one area for improvement."
"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."
"CylancePROTECT could be improved in its technical support and communication."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"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."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."
"Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."
"​Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."
"The license price for this solution could be better. It's on the expensive side."
"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."
"CylancePROTECT is an affordable solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"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."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
