Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
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…
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool provides excellent sandboxing and email security features, but the backup and recovery features are not good
If my primary solution is down, no backup solution is available to restore it. It is one of the biggest weaknesses of the platform. If I need to update the solution, there is no option to pick the events and the logs from it and deploy it in another solution. The backup and recovery features of the product are not good. I need backup. If the tool is down for some time, I cannot get the logs at that particular time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"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 dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The email security feature is really good."
"The solution is very easy to use. Its interface is very simple, and you can build IOC's indicators. You can use your rules to detect these attacks because you can leverage threat intelligence. Y"
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is stable and runs all the time."
"The most valuable use is detailing metadata collection from the endpoint and network."
"I feel the anti-ransomware update is one of the tool's valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"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"
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is not a good product. We had problems with endpoints and the solution did not detect it. We didn't get any alerts about the attack."
"The solution lacks cloud integrations."
"The backup and recovery features of the product are not good."
"In some of the places I have come across, even though they use Kaspersky, the ransomware enters their system."
"I think the tool is still not really good enough for integration compared to other products."
"The blind spot or gap in the platform is network analysis functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"Cynet is cheap."
"Kaspersky is one of the cheaper solutions."
"Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform is cheap."
"The solution has competitive pricing."
