Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"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 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."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Technical support was perfect."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Performance is very good."
"The most valuable feature is Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."
 

Cons

"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"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."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"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."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
