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.

Includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data, but the monthly reporting feature can be improved
The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved. Since we have KPIs in our organization, we have to do a lot of manual work while preparing the monthly reports. Though I can see the installed software, I don't get a consolidated report on them. The solution's software inventory features can be improved to be more actionable. Although they have all the necessary information on the portal, it's not actionable enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"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 dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"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."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"It offers good scalability."
"I use the solution to protect our infrastructure. The tool has special frames for banking. There is an additional secure filter for banking-related pages. It protects me from viruses, malware, and attacks."
"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"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."
"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."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"The monthly reporting feature of WithSecure can be improved."
"The website rules are too complicated."
"The tool’s mobile version needs to be improved."
"Its automated functionality could be better."
"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is scalable. My company has 800-1000 customers."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
