Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Currently, we are not using any other solution for this use case, but previously we used MISP, which is an open-source project that requires a lot of effort to make work. That way, it required a lot of attention from our system administrator, and we had to sanitize the data very frequently because the peers we had. Sometimes they flooded our systems with chunk data and that needs to be handled and we decided to go with a paid solution instead.
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 feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of Anomali is the threat modeling capability."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
 

Cons

"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"An area for improvement is the intelligence sharing within the Anomali community. The tagging system can be inconsistent, as any company can use any tags for their reporting."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"Their technical support can be improved in terms of speed when opening a ticket."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"The command line interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"The price is very competitive."
"Cynet is cheap."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
