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
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 correlation engine is good."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the alerts."
"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 feature is the log monitoring."
"ArcSight Analytics has improved our system and network policy monitoring."
"The two most valuable features of this solution are its stability and scalability."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"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 most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with automation products, such as Phantom Automation."
"ArcSight is not a user-friendly solution and the interface needs to be improved."
"I faced stability issues with Windows Operating System. The installed connectors hang if they remain idle for a long period of time."
"The interactive dashboard is complicated and you need to have training in order to use it, so I think that it could be made easier to use."
"The customer service could be improved, and additional integrations with other APIs could be added."
"ArcSight's features that can be improved include anything related to its visualization capabilities and user friendliness."
"Currently, there are no compatible connectors for this solution, which means we have to depend on FlexConnectors."
"It needs more user analytics and aggregation user queries. And it's slow. When you query over ArcSight, it is very slow."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"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."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight Analytics is a bit expensive compared with other tools in terms of licensing costs, training, hardware implementation, and support."
"My customers pay a yearly licensing fee for ArcSight Analytics."
"This solution is expensive."
"The monthly licensing fee is around $20,000. There aren't any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"It can range between $30,000 and $40,000 USD, and can go up to $500,000 and $600,000 USD."
"In addition to the costs of standard licensing fees, there is the cost of labor for maintenance."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"Cynet is very affordable."
