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…

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI
I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"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."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"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."
"I like the Panda Security Adaptive Defense cloud usages. Everything is on a single plane of glass like the dashboards. I also like the information I can get about the computers itself."
"The dashboard management feature is valuable."
"The interface is great."
"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."
"It is easy to manage."
"The EDR has a high accuracy rate with only a few false positives."
"Great technical support staff."
"It is stable, and the performance is good."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"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."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"It needs some improvements in the DNS security feature. Currently, it does not have full DNS security. It only has semi-DNS security, which can be improved. It is an important feature for us, and it would be really good if they can improve the DNS security feature. Our group has some plans to change to Cisco AMP, which has features such as DNS, Umbrella. We are trying to learn about Cisco AMP and compare it with Panda."
"The Linux installation is performed on the command line and they need a package installer for that operating system."
"They need to offer a clear dashboard so you can see everything everywhere all at once."
"Improvements could be made in terms of how the reporting is structured."
"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."
"I would like to see better data protection."
"For some urgent updates, I don't like the need for the tool to be frequently restarted."
"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing was good."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."
"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."
"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."
"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."
"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."
"I don't think Panda's license is too expensive, but they're charging more than it's worth. It's a yearly license. For 1,000 endpoints, it's around $18,000."
"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."
