Cynet Reviews

This is a very good solution for discovering malware and checking the behavior at user endpoints.

I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices. 

Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use. I would also like to see a feature that makes it possible to do a better check of the network.

I have been using this solution for about two years. 

This is a stable product. 

We have a team of four or five people within our company who work with Cynet. This solution is absolutely easy to scale. 

The solution has good support. I would rate them as a five out of five. 

The deployment was easy and fast because we used a third-party. Implementation is handled on the cloud, so the only thing we have to do is deploy the agent on the device. We need the correct tool to deploy it and each customer has a different tool, but the activity of installing it is very, very easy. On a scale of one to five, I would rate my experience with deployment as a four. 

I call Cynet for any maintenance needs. 

This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products. 

I use different solutions, and the big difference is how quickly the users need to use it. Bitdefender is probably easier than Cynet or Carbon Black because the technician or analyst doesn't need special skills to use it. Cynet is more complicated than Bitdefender because it has more features, rules, and functionality, so analysts need more skill to use it.

Another difference is the ability of the platform and the user interface. They are all very good instruments for security, but the main difference is probably the usability.

It's possible to create more granular rules in Cynet for different things. I would say Bitdefender is for a medium-sized company, probably, while Cynet is good for big companies.

I would recommend Cynet to big companies because the platform is more expensive, so it's probably not possible for small or medium companies to buy it. 

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten. 

We are protecting all our workstations. We have installed Cynet on all the servers as quite a lot of employees are working from home because of the situation.

We tested for a short period without blocking any attacks. But because of cyber security issues here in Israel, after three weeks we made it a full blocking system and it works. It's working fantastic.

One problem is that Linux servers are not supported. We have our sites, but our servers that are in the cloud supporting the sites are not supported. The second problem is they don't have a solution for mobile yet, but it's expected next year. I want to install the solution on mobile devices. We have quite a lot of tablets and phones.

A mobile solution will close the pyramid of all the clients in the data being used in the organization. Also we have outside suppliers and customers, or suppliers that are attached directly to the organization, and we also covered them.

I have been using the latest version of Cynet since March.

The solution is a very good one, very clever. We never know if it will stop all the VOD attacks, but we hope it does the work.

We didn't go forward with this yet. I don't know if we will need to do it. As I said before, the only obstacle was with the Linux-based servers on our site. We are not using a lot of Linux, so we didn't install the EDR. The next stage may be to start engaging with the appliance companies and try to do it.

Customer service and support were very responsive. We called them, and they were really giving the 24/7 solution. We are not working on Saturday, and the date that the attack was done on one of our suppliers was on Saturday. It was at 10 o'clock in the morning. At 3 o'clock we engaged with them; at six o'clock the installation was done.

Ours was straightforward. 

We had an issue with one of our suppliers who was attacked and decided to fully engage with the solution. They deployed it in three hours.

Our licensing agreement with them is a yearly agreement. We signed for one year because we wanted to check the solution. We are still waiting for the mobile solution as part of our agreement. The timeline is next year and the cost includes also 24/7 solution. The pricing was good.

There were three solutions we were talking about: CrowdStrike, Cynet, and Cybereason. They were the shortlist, the companies after we checked a few weeks to determine what solution we were going to take. We looked at three main parameters: the quality of the solution, the pricing, and the ease of deployment. At the end of the day, Cynet got the maximum rating. We did very deep work with consultants. We didn't make a decision in one day. We also checked Palo Alto and others, but on the shortlist, Cynet got the highest score.

I would surely recommend it. It's a very clever solution. In Israel we have competitors; Cybereason is an Israeli company. We also checked them and other companies. One of the main reasons we chose Cynet was because they have their own distribution system for all the computers. That's the reason it was implemented so quickly.

We already bought BigFix. Now it's secondary, but for the first deployment, it was really, from our point of view, a very clever decision because we didn't plan to do it in one day. And we thought that the plans in one day would create a risk for us, for utilization of CPOs and other things. We found out utilization of the CPO is very low for all the endpoints clients. So it was quite a good surprise for us. We didn't face even one problem with any of the clients that were deployed, and we deployed it on around 1,500 clients in sales, including service.

Overall, I would rate Cynet a ten out of ten.

The primary use case of this product is to provide security. We monitor alerts that come in from Cynet. We are based in India, I'm the company's chief manager and we are customers of Cynet. 

This is a reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious and takes direct action without IT interference. Nothing is required from the user because Cynet provides MDR services. We receive alert emails notifying us that something has been detected and is suspicious. It can be removed from quarantine but it's generally a genuine alert. The product performance is very good. 

The command line interface could be improved. I'd like to see them integrate a remote feature for the system so that we can control the network system remotely from the console. That would be very helpful for the admin. 

I've been using this solution for four months. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We have 300 Cynet licenses. 

We mainly used the support for training purposes when we deployed the solution. Since then we haven't needed to contact customer support. 

Licensing costs are very reasonable. We pay the equivalent of about $US25 per license annually. 

I also evaluated Cortex and it was very painful to handle the Cortex XDR because every time we needed to mitigate anything in the dashboard, it all had to be whitelisted individually. Cynet, on the other hand, takes care of everything. An alert goes out and we receive a notification that they have taken action. 

I rate this solution 10 out of 10. 

With Cynet we are able to real-time monitoring from a SOC remotely.

We have extended real-time support for the product that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

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.

These are the features we like. It is all built-in. Unlike most other technologies, XDR requires the use of third-party network monitoring tools.

Reporting in Cynet needs improving.

It is an excellent product. I would like to see more user-friendly reporting features.

Certain reports are missing, but I am confident that they would work on them.

The only downside of Cynet is the reporting.

If you look at security, I believe it is more about building a data lake with everything in it. That is something that we are talking with Cynet about.

I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed. CrowdStrike could do the same thing, in my opinion.

I have been using Cynet for approximately 5 years.

I have had no issues with Cynet in the five years that I have used it.

Cynet is a stable solution.

Cynet is a scalable solution.

We have three solutions architects who are involved with Cynet and CrowdStrike.

Personally, I check in with the analyst once a week to ensure that everything is in order.

This solution is appropriate for organizations such as SMBs and Enterprises. The largest enterprise with 34,000 endpoints is a telecommunications company, while the smallest has 500, and another with 2,000.

It's scalable.

It's not really a question of being a more enterprise or SMB product. It is appropriate for everyone.

Real-time support is excellent. As previously stated, they were connected to the systems in real-time. They provide first-line support, whereas we only provide second-line support. Excellent product, with excellent support.

You could look at most of the technologies available to see where they fall short. I believe Cynet's competitive advantage is its 24/7 real-time support.

I would rate their technical support a five out of five, with five being the best.

Positive

We currently provide service to a large number of clients in South Africa and throughout Africa. The primary products we currently use in the endpoint are CrowdStrike and Trend Micro. However, we are gradually moving towards Cynet.

We are a partner of CrowdStrike and we offer it as a service to our clients.

I have 12 years of experience working with CrowdStrike Falcon EDR.

I believe it is more about the after-sales service and support that comes with it, but as I previously stated, we are currently moving away from CrowdStrike. 

We are using a technology known as Cynet, and there are reasons for this. It is not just about the technology, it is the service that is provided to ensure that a customer does not have a breach.

We have worked with a number of endpoint products, including the CrowdStrike EDR product. We are aware of the product features.

CrowdStrike XDR has not yet been released. We use EDR, but what we like about the product right now is the threat hunting and intelligence components, which make things much easier for analysts to hunt.

The initial setup is easy. It's straightforward.

It would take you an hour, or two, to implement a client with 2000 endpoints.

It is a great product, and CrowdStrike is as well. The technology is great.

With one being difficult, and five being easy I would rate the setup a five out of five. It's easy.

Most of our clients are deployed on the cloud, only one client is on-premises. We prefer the Cloud it is easier to maintain and manage.

The product requires no maintenance.

The price is very competitive. However, if I am coming to you, and you are selling me a security product, I should not be looking at the price because I am looking to secure my environment. 

I will not lose anything by securing my environment, and there will be no data breaches.

The cost of implementing something like Cynet or CrowdStrike should not be an issue. 

You are attempting to protect and secure your environment, price should not be an issue.

I don't deal with the pricing, but it is a great product.

The price is lower than CrowdStrike. I would rate the pricing a four out of five.

When compared with other similar solutions, Cynet looks at the network, the host, the files, the directories, and the users, where the others are concerned, you must add them.

This is all combined in one technology, which makes things easier to manage and track.

We are a partner of Cynet.  

We use the product in all of our customers' environments.

We are system integrators of Cynet. We integrate the solution for our customers.

It's a good product, I would rate Cynet a ten out of ten.

It is being used for continuous protection. It is used as old standard antivirus and next-generation anti-malware using behavior and analytics. It provides defense against zero-days and living-off-the-land attacks.

I am absolutely up-to-date in terms of its version.

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.

I'm quite happy with them. Compared to other tools that I've seen, they're kind of ahead of the curve. So, it is hard to fault an organization that I see as a leader. Other companies spend a lot more money on marketing but don't really do much more in terms of protection.

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.

I have used it at a couple of different places I've worked. I started working with it back in 2016.

It is very stable. There were no negative interactions with any of our business applications or users. It has been quite good.

For our needs, scaling is not a big consideration.

They had an onboarding session with us. They walked us through all the features and gave recommendations for a startup versus more mature configurations. Now that we're getting started on a regular basis, I find them to be very responsive. They are available via phone or email and willing to do a shared desktop or video meeting when we need them.

I'm currently with a very small organization. We're using their cloud-based management system. So, there was no setup. We could have had an on-site server if we really wanted to, but we're small. We try to avoid that. 

We were up and running very quickly. It took however long it takes to distribute their endpoint software using a software distribution tool.

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.

My head office selected to go with CrowdStrike, and I chose this over CrowdStrike.

Just give it a try. It'll speak for itself. 

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

We are a technical services company and we provide this solution to our customers, as well as use it ourselves.

Cynet is a breach protection platform. 

This solution requires less management and is very easy to use.

Cynet can be controlled from a mobile device such as an iPad or an iPhone.

They need to create an Android app to support more mobile devices.

A support center in Asia is needed.

I have been working with Cynet for the past eight months.

This solution is very much stable. The product is very mature and we have not seen any bugs.

Scalability is very good. Our clients who use Cynet are medium-sized and enterprise-level businesses.

The customer support is good, although they should have a center for support available in Asia.

I have worked with many other solutions including McAfee, Symantec, CrowdStrike, Cylance, and solutions from Microsoft.

Our clients choose Cynet because it is both simple to use and comprehensive. It's a complete solution and you don't have to buy anything else.

The initial setup is extremely easy. It is better than any product on the market.

It will take a few hours to deploy to a huge team of 10,000 to 15,000 people.

We deployed this solution in-house and one person is enough for the task.

We have not more than ten people who maintain this solution. Some of them control it using mobile apps.

It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price.

This is a brilliant solution. I recommend it and my advice is simply to go ahead and implement it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

In my company, Cynet is used by those in SOC to detect threats and to use Cynet's functionalities for extended detection and response.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it works well and detects threats that many other solutions cannot detect, improving and ensuring a great workflow. One of the other great features of the product includes the good price at which the solution is offered.

Improvements can be made in the overall functionalities provided by Cynet. There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement.

I have been using Cynet for two years. I use the solution's latest version. My company is not only an end user of Cynet but also has a partnership with Cynet.

It is a very stable solution.

It is a very scalable solution. I have done dozens of installations for very big customers, and we haven't found any trouble managing the product.

My company caters to around 200 customers who use Cynet.

The solution's technical support is good since they are quick to respond and provide the information you need to solve your problems with the solution.

The initial setup of Cynet was easy.

The deployment process of Cynet can take up to three or four days.

The deployment process can be managed with installation scripts by Cynet, software distribution tools that the customer may already have, or with the help of Active Directory.

The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud. I use the cloud or SaaS version, but I know that there is also an on-premises version available.

For deployment and maintenance, engineers and architects from our company are involved in the installation and management phase of the solution. In general, two technical analysts take care of the solution.

The deployment process was carried out in-house with the help of some consultants.

My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive. Price-wise, Cynet cannot be compared to good solutions like SentinelOne, Defender, or HP.

I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues.

It is a very stable and scalable solution.

The price is great for all the features it offers, and the licensing is flexible.

The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. Seeing more of the threat intelligence would be a definite advantage.

The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time.

In terms of stability, Cynet is very reliable.

We have approximately 109 installed end points, of which about 20 are servers, about 15 to 20 are laptops and mobile devices, and the remainder are primarily Windows-based workstations.

I have worked with other customers or with other people in other institutions that use it, and they've deployed up to 300 within very short periods of time. I've talked to others in much larger, 60,000 end point institutions, and they have had no issues with scalability.

We have worked with technical support on various topics, and they're always very responsive and get the job done within a very short period of time.

The initial setup was very simple. We put it up on over a hundred devices in less than five minutes.

Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers.

The licensing is very flexible. You can do it yearly, quarterly, or monthly.

Don't be afraid of it. It's a very solid solution. Be sure to take a look at it, compare it to all of the others, and then be careful to compare apples to apples when there are functions and features that it has that others do not.

I'm very happy with this solution and would have to rate it at ten on a scale from one to ten.
