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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
 

Cons

"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"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."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"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."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Cynet is cheap."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"It is relatively cheap."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
