Head Delivery & Co-founder at Vincacyber

The initial setup is very seamless. There are no challenges as such. The deployment module can be both on-premises and cloud.

The initial setup is easy to do. We just show the clients how to do it, and they do the deployment themselves. One of our customers recently actually installed it before we even had our first conversation to show them how to do it. 

Of course, customers have to prepare their environment for the
deployment to be smooth. Certain ports have to be opened, and some .exe
fiels need to be whitelisted.

In terms of the ease of deployment, I would rate them a five out of five.

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.

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.

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.

I would rate Cynet's setup a ten out of ten. The tool's deployment got completed in a few minutes. It is very intuitive and you need to connect it to the server.

System Administrator at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees

It was easy. Most of the agents were installed automatically, but on some of the computers, the agents were installed manually. I had to configure group policies, and in the console, I had to put all the agents in a group.

I take care of its maintenance. It is really simple. When I put the new computer in a domain, it installs by itself and assigns a Group Policy Object (GPO).

I'm not dealing directly with Cynet in terms of administration. There is a security company between me and Cynet. They do cloud administration. I just add the agents in the right groups on the console, but the alerts are sent to me by this intermediate company. It is very simple for me. They just send me alerts on this computer saying that something is wrong with this service and if I can check it. I don't manage it, and we're paying for managing it.

Presales Engineer at Vincacyber

The initial setup is simple and user-friendly.

Regarding the deployment, if we can depend on Windows, then it hardly takes two to three minutes. It's a simple process that consists of inserting a package in Windows. Post that, it will take five to ten minutes, depending upon the customer and other factors.

As for the deployment process, we follow two processes. With manual deployment, you will share the package and then deploy it. The second process is sharing some scripts with an OS like Linux.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises.

We need one resource in our organization to deploy and maintain the solution. One can use ADA or some third-party tool for over a thousand deployments.

Solutions Architect at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

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 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.

GJ
Director of Cyber Security Services at ASSURED ENTERPRISES

The initial setup is phenomenal. We did 5,000 devices in one hour. Everything was up and registered within 24, however, technically after eight hours, you're done. It's up and working right away.

Each implementation, of course, is different. Your customers have their own unique situations. You have to cater to your customer. That's what we do. We tailor it to our customers' needs after providing some kind of a cybersecurity assessment and a cybersecurity score. Then we design for them what their risks are and how Cynet and our company can help mitigate those challenges. Each client is customized. No two customers are alike.

The initial setup is easy. I would rate it a nine or a ten out of ten.

You don't have to do anything with Cynet because it does everything for you.

A unique aspect of Cynet is that they always compliment you, and if you don't have particular skills, Cynet will add them to your company's team without saying anything.

Cynet, as a character or as a product, runs on all endpoints, but the console is always in the cloud.

Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

The initial setup is very easy and for may hard to believe. Installation can be done with an endpoint management solution or method that is in-house, or with the built-in solution if you prefer that. Functionally speaking you start with default settings and discover-only mode, and then you gradually refine and if you are comfortable you with on auto-protection mode. We did an install in a company with 500 people, and it was ready in less than one hour it was installed on all endpoints. Then the process starts in detection mode only and in this case we rapidly could switch to protection mode.

The initial setup is easy. However, it depends on what we find in the customer environment. Usually, they can't use automatic tools and need to do many things manually.

We have a team of 25 that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. There are more than ten people on the delivery team.

It was the easiest setup you could have wanted. It took maybe ten minutes  for over 100 endpoints and 5 to move devices from detection to prevention methods.

The initial setup is amazing, it's very easy to deploy. It maybe took a couple of weeks but it could have easily been done in a week. It really is just the deploying agent. Cynet was not the blocking point, it was us because we deployed at holiday time, so some people were not available and their laptops were not available to have the agent deployed on it.

I don't have direct experience with setting up Cynet, but I believe it involves on-premises installation for certain components while the console is in the cloud.

The initial installation of Cynet is very easy because we did not do it. It's the same installation on endpoints, such as laptops, and servers, or in virtual machines.

I would rate the implementation difficulty of Cynet a three out of five.

CTO / CISO at a cloud provider with 11-50 employees

The initial setup isn't too complex. It's pretty easy and straightforward for the most part.

Deployment doesn't take very long. It's quick as well.

You don't need more than one or two internal people to handle the solution in terms of maintenance. The solution handles the backend support and monitors for very little money. It's all part of the package.

AG
Chief Technology Officer at a tech company with 201-500 employees

The complexity of Cynet's installation is average. There might not be an easier way to deploy the solution because we are incredibly paranoid, so we don't have a centralized way to install the software. Technically, we have to install it unit by unit on PC, so that's slow. You have to go there. And sometimes, it's behaving erratically when you set it up. So if I restart the installation three times on my PC, I may get three different questions at the setup time. So it could be improved.

Once you have done this and everything works, it's one of the easiest installs. Each instance takes about a minute to install when it works. So you install the software, and after that, it automatically updates itself. It does everything by itself. And it does not ask you difficult questions. It only asks you to install it in administrative mode, which is a pretty common request for security software. The only issue is that, from time to time, you technically have a USB key trying to install the software, and it's trying to scan every user's PC around there. And every time it scans, it cannot access the other computer because we have security sync. So you need to restart two or three times. Eventually, it goes through and works nicely. So if it resolved that glitch, it would be the easiest software in the world to install.

One criticism is that the online documentation does not detail too much. Maybe I was just unable to find what I was looking for, or Cynet isn't trying to give too much information to anybody other than those doing the deployment. But aside from the hangups you encounter from time to time, it's an easy software to deploy.
