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…
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"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."
"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."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Performance is very good."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Technical support was perfect."
 

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."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"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."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"Integration with different platforms could be an area for improvement in Trend Micro ServerProtect, e.g. it needs more integration. It could also be more secure and more stable. In the next release, this solution should also include more EDR visibility."
