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…
Anton Anton - PeerSpot reviewer
Network detection enhances security while seamless integration boosts utility
I use Fortinet FortiNDR for its Network Detection features, primarily with FortiGate on-premises. However, I do not handle day-to-day operations myself; my team manages the tools. In general, there is no issue with FortiGate in our company Some of the valuable features include FortiGate's Network…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"The dashboards are very informative compared to other solutions like Cisco, providing valuable insights into network threats."
"Using Fortinet FortiNDR as a bundle is cost-effective, providing a complete package of tools."
 

Cons

"I think the technical support could be better."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"Having a DLP feature would add value"
"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."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"The price is very competitive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"This solution is expensive. I would rate the price as a three out of five when compared to similar products."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
