My experience with the technical support of Cynet is excellent; they are just one click away.
Based on our needs, they schedule remote sessions and resolve the issues.
Support is not available promptly, especially when issues are escalated to another region.

I cannot comment specifically regarding the support part because I have never needed Rapid7 support for the InsightVM solution as it is very stable.

Room For Improvement

Cynet should enhance mobile support, integration, customization, usability, and AI features, with better incident data and third-party integrations.
InsightVM needs improved reporting, integration, scanning, and cloud capabilities, with efficient support and user-friendly features.
There should be more options than deploying solely through group policy, as the assumption that GPO is working isn’t always the case.
Having a DLP feature would also add value.
Integration with local Active Directory, not only Azure AD, is a must.
Having the ability to build our own audit file, similar to a feature in Tenable, would be beneficial.
The major improvement needed is prompt support.
The current process requires manually telling IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and then they update the status of these vulnerabilities in the platform.

Cynet offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing, appreciated for its cost-benefit ratio and comprehensive features by enterprise buyers.
Rapid7 InsightVM pricing is scalable based on assets, with costs from $30,000+, offering comprehensive features and flexible options.
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.
Cynet does not ask for additional costs for add-on features.
Rapid7 InsightVM is expensive, possibly one of the highest in pricing among similar products.
Pricing is reasonable and competitive compared to other solutions in the market.
I would rate the pricing for Rapid7 InsightVM as eight out of ten.

The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.
The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful.
It's based on the CVSS risk scoring system, which is well-recognized and effective.

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.
