We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious
The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For me, the technical support is good."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
 

Cons

"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."
"It initially took some time to deploy."
"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."
"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."
"The reporting feature needs improvement."
"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."
"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"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"
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"The pricing is manageable."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Cynet is very affordable."
