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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"The package of protection that it provides is useful. It has antivirus, malware protection, VPN, and a whole bunch of other features."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"I have found many of the features to be useful."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The loss prevention feature would be the most valuable."
 

Cons

"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"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."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"We would like to see all the features available on cloud."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"We have had some of our clients not happy with McAfee Endpoint Security because it blocks some of the applications they are trying to use. They should make it easier to unblock applications."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"One of the drawbacks is that it is not 100% secure."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Cynet is cheap."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The initial price is very good as they give good initial discounts, but it seems a little expensive once you renew the license."
"I think Trellix is more on the higher side of the market, just on a general scale, but I also think it depends on what particular package you choose."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
