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.

Easy to setup, stable and good security use cases
I primarily use this solution for security.  I appreciate the good control it offers, which simplifies management. So, I feel confident using this solution. We need a more complete Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. I have been using Kaspersky for eight years. I use the latest version.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"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 quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It provides good security."
"I like that we can use it across all the platforms like PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and all systems for protection. I also like that we can use it for different cloud sessions and different unified systems. It's available on all the vulnerability assessments including, web filtering, email filtering, test protection, anomaly control, and management. There are more than enough benefits available on Kaspersky."
"This product is easy to use."
"I think that all the features are valuable for our environment."
"The user interface is easy to maintain once it is setup."
"The product is quite scalable."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"The solution is scalable, we have 500 users using this solution."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business needs an easier mechanism for updates."
"Kaspersky and most other security products have a lot of modules. They recently added several new ones. You find yourself buying and deploying so many things. There are some modules that everyone uses, like, for example, the orchestration module. Instead of selling them separately, it would be better to have bundles or an all-in-one license."
"The reports aren't so good. To make it a perfect ten they should improve the reports and web interface."
"There are quite a number of areas for improvement. The first area for improvement is that I find this solution to be very resource intensive when you're running a particular task, even a mere scanning task, even though it's running in the background. When you go to inspect the resources you realize it makes the machine very slow. It takes up a lot of resources even though there are no particular scanning tasks scheduled to run. That's one of the issues."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business should improve its reporting. There are also some issues in the cloud portal. The solution's pricing can be cheaper."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"There are many improvements needed, such as faster responses, faster notification, and immediate reports."
"The solution could use better reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"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."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"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 annual license required to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business."
"The licensing is based per agent. You can get discounts if you have more agents."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. It is less costly compared to competitors."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
