We performed a comparison between ArcSight Analytics and Cynet based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The features I have found most valuable are it capabilities for behavioral analytics and anomaly detection."
"The ability to correlate different logs is the solution's most valuable feature."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"Allows multiple integrations with multiple systems in a stable and flexible fashion."
"This solution allows us to identify connections for all users."
"The most valuable feature is the log monitoring."
"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."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"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."
"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 interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The reporting and the way it is worded needs to be improved in future releases. The dashboards are quite poorly designed."
"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."
"I would like to see orchestration."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"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."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"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."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
