Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.

Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases
Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The EDR, as well as the XDR features, are very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"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."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."
"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."
 

Cons

"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."
"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Cynet is cheap."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
