Sentiment score

Cynet is preferred for its stability and simplicity, offering reliable performance with minimal issues, appealing to many users.

Room For Improvement

Users desire improved dashboard functionality, integration, machine learning, and interface enhancements with cost-effective options for better threat management.
Cynet needs improved mobile support, faster technical assistance, flexible reporting, better threat handling, and enhanced integrations and features.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
There should be more options than deploying solely through group policy, as the assumption that GPO is working isn’t always the case.
Having a DLP feature would also add value.
Integration with local Active Directory, not only Azure AD, is a must.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon is pricier than competitors but valued for strong security, flexible features, and excellent support.
Cynet offers affordable, flexible subscriptions with high ROI, cost-effective features, and competitive pricing compared to CrowdStrike and Sentinel One.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
I think the pricing of Cynet is fair and one of the better options in the market.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon excels with real-time threat detection, cloud-native flexibility, and seamless integration, enhancing endpoint security and management.
Cynet provides advanced threat detection, easy setup, and flexible pricing, appealing to small teams with low management effort.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
Real-time response (RTR) is a feature of EDR.
The moment the user clicked on the file, it was quarantined thanks to CrowdStrike.
The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.

Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.
Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
