We performed a comparison between Cynet and VMware Carbon Black Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"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."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"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."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The detection response and quarantining are very good features."
"Carbon Black Cb Response excels at providing context to indicators when responding to incidents. It allows responders to understand the entire scope of an incident and quickly contain it to minimize impact and disruption."
"The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good."
"The most valuable features are the threat-hunting and the batch console."
"Integration and scalability are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are its lightweight design, ensuring minimal impact on end-users, and its real-time protection."
"The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver."
"For setup, the server can be given to you as a VM image and with minimal configuration needed."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"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."
"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"
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server. If the primary server goes down, you need a new one. It's not available at the same time, however. It's not automatically swapped from one server to another."
"Training and education for both partner and customer, including product marketing need to be improved."
"The cloud console has a lot of bugs and issues in the analysis part."
"The solution needs to simplify the process of adding custom watchlists, as well as embrace YARA for rule creation."
"They need to improve the batch console. It needs more capabilities. We are limited by the ones it provides..."
"They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents"
"The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions."
"We are subscribed to FS-ISAC threat indicator, but have been unsuccessful in adding it to our alliance feeds."
