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.
Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"This solution makes it easy to create use cases, and it is easy to move queries from use cases to the report to the dashboard."
"The most valuable features are that you get lots of connectors, which make it easy to log in to my ASM, and lots of prebuilt roles from the company."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"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."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
 

Cons

"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"[There is] complexity in maintaining it and managing it. It's not easy to use. It requires a lot of training."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"The GUI interface is not always intuitive and easy for non-technical users to work with."
"Their support team could be better."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"Cynet could improve when a reverse proxy is being used to connect to the servers. There could be an easier configuration because it is not plug-and-play."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
