Cynet Previous Solutions

MM
Head of Operations at Investrust Bank Plc

One of our potential clients in Zambia tried CrowdStrike and they didn't like it.

They support many disparate networks across the country and they were looking for a solution with a dashboard that they could access centrally for all of the facilities under their purview. Now these facilities actually constitute different types of networks and are dotted across the country. The customer stated that they tried CrowdStrike and it didn't work for their use case. We are currently in the process of preparing to do an on-prem deployment of Cynet for them.

I personally have used other products prior to using Cynet. The main reason for switching has been the aforementioned USPs and value Cynet provides that I haven't yet come across.

While I am familiar with Extra Hop, my experience with it is outdated, dating back to at least three years ago.

I do have experience with Cynet. I am not someone who works directly with the solution; instead, I am responsible for selling it.

I am a reseller.

We used Symantec previously. I like Cynet more. It demands fewer resources. It is not resource-intensive.

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.

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.

I'm a reseller and have not used the product myself, I only can rely on customers' experiences for answering the questions. I am also aware of Sentinel One and Crowd Strike, which are both similar in their striving: deliver complete and good protection against cybercrime.

Cynet was recognized by MITRE, which is one of the leading security framework makers. They were recognized as one of the three best companies in their 2022 MITRE Enginuity test.

A colleague, a former Sentinel One employee, has told me that Sentinel One was a very good product. However, the big disadvantage is, it is purchased and bundled software, which means there is functional overlap as well as blind spots, and the operations and maintenance burden is heavier than with Cynet. With Cynet, the two big advantages are you have less effort to run it and easier great visibility. The daily workload is almost zero, and you have better visibility.

This product is better than Carbon Black and many of the others that we considered, which seemed more limited in what areas of attack that were covered, or compared to SentinelOne there seemed to be greater transparency of information accessible with Cynet360 across the endpoint.

Perception Point is easier to use and provides more details to investigate incidents than Cynet. In comparison, Cynet doesn’t give enough information on the malicious activity to decide to block the threats.

Before Cynet, we had McAfee Antivirus. We changed because three years ago, we evaluated that McAfee was an old antivirus solution, whereas Cynet was a new EDR solution. It was exactly what we needed to have to improve our cybersecurity posture.

I have used other solutions, such as SentinelOne, which is not a bad solution but it has too many bugs. They provide good competition against Cynet. 

The MDR internet response, in Israel, does not have any support in Hebrew. They only have support for Poland, Romania, and England.
