Sentiment score

My experience with the technical support of Cynet is excellent; they are just one click away.
Their technical support can be improved in terms of speed when opening a ticket.

Room For Improvement

Cynet must improve mobile support, global reach, customization, integrations, user interface, AI, and manage false positives better.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Cynet provides cost-effective, flexible pricing with adaptable licensing, offering high value compared to competitors like CrowdStrike and SentinelOne.
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.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Cynet provides advanced threat detection, real-time monitoring, and scalable cybersecurity with user-friendly design and competitive pricing.
Rapid7 InsightVM provides dynamic risk scoring, detailed reporting, and easy-to-use tools for effective vulnerability management and IT infrastructure security.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
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.

Suhas Dalvi - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive protection with minimal false positives enhances threat management
Cynet's real-time threat detection has helped reduce risks for our organization overall. Cynet's centralized control feature is very user-friendly, has a good user interface, and is very convenient, requiring hardly one or two people to manage the entire console, which is not resource-heavy and automates many processes, making it very easy to use without alert fatigue due to low false positives. Autonomous Breach Protection has helped us mitigate threats proactively by being highly automated, requiring very few people to manage it for forensics and investigation due to its low false positive rate, which is less than 1.3%, and it doesn't consume much memory, making it light on the endpoints. Cynet is the only platform in the industry in the endpoint XDR that meets all steps of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, scoring on all 143 odd steps, with a false positive rate of less than 1.3%. Cynet's machine learning algorithms are very effective in adapting to new threats.
