Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage

Aggregates logs in one place and helps to review data points
We tried Graylog Security, starting with their inexpensive open-source version. We tested it out and continued using it for a while.

It isn't inherently cloud-native, but that might not matter much for some.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The tool aggregates logs. We can see the logs in one place."
"We use the solution to collect logs."
 

Cons

"Previously, we used Cynet, but transitioned to Trend Micro due to the lack of complete SSO services, which were costly."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"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."
"Graylog Security needs to incorporate security scorecards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
