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.

I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems, and the fact that there is an open source version
I'm personally reviewing Xcitium Open EDR. We haven't started selling it as a solution to other people. The client is on-prem, but they also have a cloud-based EDR OpenEDR includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"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."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Cons

"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Comodo includes a firewall and antivirus in one solution. I also like the ability to remotely manage update packages on your systems. Comodo can even find a lost device and secure it remotely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
