"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"Its stability during any heavy performance activity is excellent."
"The graphical interface is very easy to use and intuitive, which greatly facilitates the work and greatly facilitates the work and the location of threats on the users' computers."
"Administratively, it's easy to control."
"It is very powerful tooling that can be tuned a lot."
"The biggest value we found was ease of deployment. I haven't really used it much, so I can't really comment beyond that. I haven't used it much, but it's working."
"The most useful feature so far has been having a functioning and up-to-date anti-malware scanner."
"It offers complete endpoint protection for all assets."
"The most valuable features of the solution are web protection and threat prevention."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"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."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"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 to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"Detections could be improved."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution is not stable."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Support's service and the response times can be improved. The triaging of the tickets takes a long time and the tickets are only resolved with escalations."
"It needs to include built-in deployment. This will make the job easier rather than having to go and dig up an Active Directory deployment along with policy objects."
"A little change in the product's user interface is required since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"The next release should consider a strong threat detection mechanism that can categorize various levels of attacks for faster analysis."
"It would be useful if you could also mark blocks as safe from a client. Now users always have to ask an admin to make exclusions."
"It blocks safe URLs sometimes when there are network interruptions."
"It's not easy to investigate an incident that you find in the company. Users often face trouble when downloading files, so it is very slow in terms of how it works."
"They should also add new functions such as threat hunting."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"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."
