Featured Reviews

Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Eckart  Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an additional secure filter for banking-related pages and protects from viruses, malware, and attacks
The tool’s initial setup was straightforward. I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, for the setup of the mobile version, I would only rate it an eight out of ten. You will receive an invitation link and you get access as portal admin when you click on it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"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."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"WithSecure includes an encrypted drive that stores a key for accessing the encrypted data."
"The only issue that we have today is with false positives. We have too many false positives with the solution."

Cons

"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
