Featured Reviews

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

"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"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."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."
"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky EDR is its simplicity. The console is easy to use and not very complex."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response are all the features. The features have all helped us and most recently malware has been an issue in our company and malware protection has been effective."
"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."
"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."
 

Cons

"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"There's room for improvement in customer service and support. The response time when I open a ticket or communicate with the vendor could be faster."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."
"There are some cases that take three days to deal with. It's too long."
"They should include XDR features in the solution."
"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response should continue to improve its protection while adapting to the changing threat ecosystems. Having more advanced features would be a benefit."
"The system can be heavy, slowing down performance."
"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"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."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"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."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"There is an annual license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price overall is a bit expensive when compared to other solutions. There are not any additional fees other than the license."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"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."
"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten 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."
