Sentiment score

Room For Improvement

Cynet should enhance mobile support, integration, customization, usability, and AI features, with better incident data and third-party integrations.
OpenText and ArcSight require updates for usability, scalability, and pricing to compete with QRadar and Splunk effectively.
There should be more options than deploying solely through group policy, as the assumption that GPO is working isn’t always the case.
One area where Cynet needs improvement is tamper protection for Mac and Linux agents.
Having a DLP feature would also add value.
 

Setup Cost

Cynet offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing, appreciated for its cost-benefit ratio and comprehensive features by enterprise buyers.
OpenText Behavioral Signals offers enterprise-priced licensing options with additional charges for new features not in the base license.
Cynet does not ask for additional costs for add-on features.
I think the pricing of Cynet is fair and one of the better options in the market.
The price of Cynet is reasonable considering its features and support.
 

Valuable Features

Cynet delivers seamless threat detection with automation, scalability, and low management effort, featuring advanced EDR/XDR capabilities and 24/7 support.
OpenText Behavioral Signals synthesizes diverse logs, customizes environments, and enhances efficiency with a user-friendly, consolidated interface.
These features manage our infrastructure's cybersecurity effectively.
The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful.
The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers.

Featured Reviews

Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved threat detection and streamlined incident analysis through centralized control and AI-driven insights
People are looking for Cynet because it has next-generation threat protection that detects zero-day threats. It has UEBA (user entity behavior analysis), threat hunting features, and storage device control where we can create profiles and block unauthorized USB storage devices. We can also create threat protection policies to detect malware, ransomware, and many other threats. The most valuable feature is the UBA (User behavior analysis). It has integration with SIEM solutions, allowing us to share our logs to third-party SIEM servers. Cynet has AI integration which showcases complete forensic data about threats, making it very easy to understand what happened with the system and what type of incident was detected. Autonomous breach protection is a feature of Cynet which can detect and mitigate known and unknown threats based on signatures. If there are any signature-less files, malware, or ransomware, it will detect them based on autonomous breach protection capabilities. The centralized management console provides a dashboard where we can see four types of attack vectors and incident counts in real-time. It continuously scans the radar and shows open alerts related to files, hosts, users, or networks. We can easily export these alerts and send reports via email.
Pravir KumarSinha - PeerSpot reviewer
Has essential threat detection capabilities, but the features for intelligence need enhancement
We integrated this tool with our security infrastructure. We installed it on a Linux server, where we have a Logger and ESM installed. With the Linux server as the hub, we manage all the configurations and rules, including those for email triggers. The logs are routed through a connector to the Logger, allowing us to monitor our infrastructure effectively. The platform helps us improve threat detection capabilities. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL
Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
