Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability.""I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications.""I like that it's stable. It's been stable for a long time, and Microsoft Defender has done a good job there.""We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing.""For me, the advanced hunting capabilities have been really great. It allowed querying the dataset with their own language, which is KQL or Kusto Query Language. That has allowed me to get much more insight into the events that have occurred. The whole power of 365 Defender is that you can get the whole story. It allows you to query an email-based activity and then correlate it with an endpoint-based activity.""From the perspective of Microsoft 365 XDR, the main benefit is a single, centralized dashboard offering the holistic visibility organizations crave.""The most valuable feature is the DLP because that's where we can have an added data protection layer and extend it not just to emails but to the documents that users are working on. We can make sure that sensitive data is tagged and flagged if unauthorized parties are using it.""The product integrates security into one tool instead of having third-party security tools."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Pros →

"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act.""Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page.""The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface.""It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.""We are protecting all our workstations.""The initial setup is simple and user-friendly.""The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well.""A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."

More Cynet Pros →

"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up.""I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money.""The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less.""Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best.""The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature.""The installation is pretty straightforward.""Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster.""The performance is good."

More Trellix Endpoint Security Pros →

Cons
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times.""Defender also lacks automated detection and response. You need to resolve issues manually. You can manage multiple Microsoft security products from a single portal, and all your security recommendations are in one place. It's easy to understand and manage. However, I wouldn't say Defender is a single pane of glass. You still need to switch between all of the available Microsoft tools. You can see all the alerts in one panel, but you can't automate remediation.""There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use.""There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups.""Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR.""The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports.""Microsoft 365 Defender does not have a unique package with emerging endpoint security technologies, such as EDR and XDR.""The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"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.""There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement.""In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken.""The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time.""SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future.""The solution lacks URL filtering.""We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points.""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."

More Cynet Cons →

"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer.""I would like to see more integration with third-party products.""It didn't work well for some of the use cases. We have different use cases for each entity. Their support is also not good and needs improvement.""The solution's documentation is not streamlined and is in bits and pieces, which should be in a single format.""The product is not easy to use.""The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement.""The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it.""We experienced some bad behavior when we first installed the product. The system also starts slowly in some instances. If for some reason this solution crashes, we could lose all our data."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
  • More Microsoft Defender XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."

  • "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 pricing was good."
  • "It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
  • More Cynet Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is fair."
  • "No comment."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “It has a great console. We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy. Every year we are getting the benefits of legacy also. It's easy to set up.” - S Fazlul H., IT Lead Engineer, Information Technology at Banglalink

    “There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec.” - Sabari K. Senior Engineer at a comms service provider
