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…
Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

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."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"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."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"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."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"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."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"The price is very competitive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
