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

"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."
"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."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"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 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."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Trellix Endpoint Security offers robust access protection, addressing major concerns in prevention. It provides both application control and user access control within its access protection features."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
 

Cons

"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"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."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"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."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"It would be nice if the solution were to allow not just on-cloud management, but on-premises, as well."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."

"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"The price is very competitive."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"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 pricing was good."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"No comment."
