Peter Nowak - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration of multiple firewalls enables advanced threat detection
The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable. Cybereason XDR facilitates two-way communication, where the firewall sends data to the Cybereason system, and it can communicate with the firewall to stop unwanted communication. Customers can deal with multiple types of firewalls with ease. The behavioral analytics help detect advanced threats when attackers use existing software. The multilayered protection approach, including NGAV, integrates XDR detection with antivirus to assess and counter threats effectively.
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"The integration of data from firewalls and Active Directory is most valuable."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
 

Cons

"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Customer service is rated as a five out of ten. When they work and reach the right level, they are helpful, but getting to the right person can be time-consuming."
"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"There could be more integrations with other data sources like NDR systems."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"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."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"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."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
