Subhadip Pakrashi - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution that provides a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network
ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network. The solution's threat analysis gives a good view of the network. We can then compare those vulnerabilities and CVS scores worldwide and get a good understanding of how likely the network is to be hit. The kind of report ArcSight Analytics gives is really good. ArcSight Analytics is a very scalable solution that is easy to deploy.
Zubair Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer

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 ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"ArcSight Analytics is used to get a deeper insight and threat analysis about the network."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"It has quite good detection and response features; they are improving continuously."
"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."
"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."
"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"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."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"The price is very competitive."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
