Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is a stable solution."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"The product is very easy to use."
"It is easy to manage."
"This is a feature-rich product."
"Has great behavior detection and a very good firmware scanner."
"Has some great features not available elsewhere."
"Provides web and DNS protection over https."
 

Cons

"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"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."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"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."
"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."
"Could include some additional protection."
"It consumes many system resources."
"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."
"If a customer wants to use Kaspersky on-prem, they'll need to spend a lot on the hardware. Their server must be strong because EDR is a heavy product. You need excellent hardware to run it. It might make sense to deploy the solution in the cloud. If they add features, it will only make the product heavier and increase the hardware costs."
"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."
"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."
