We performed a comparison between Cynet and Rapid7 InsightVM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"Among the most valuable features are the alert timeline, the alert story, which is pretty detailed. It gives us complete insight into what exactly happened on the endpoint. It doesn't just say, "Malware detected." It tells us what caused that malware to be detected and how it was detected. It gives us a complete timeline from beginning to end."
"The advantage of Microsoft Defender XDR has over other XDRs in the market is that it's easy to use. You can quickly differentiate between alerts, incidents, devices, software, etc. It's easier to investigate an incident, and you have so many options. You can automate investigations and use playbooks. There's also the live response session, which is something you can't find in any other XDR."
"The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"When it comes to the process, installation is very easy and does not take long."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"The solution works well."
"While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"When discussing the secure score, which includes overviews and recommended actions, some of these recommended actions are not applicable to us, particularly those related to Microsoft Internet Explorer, which we do not use in any of our environments."
"The abundance of sub-dashboards and sub-areas within the main dashboard can be confusing, even if it all technically makes sense."
"My client would like the solution to be more customizable without using code. You can only build on the default console, but we're not allowed to change it."
"The advanced threat-hunting capabilities are phenomenal, and the security copilot enhances that, but some data elements could be better or have more context inside of the advanced tables themselves. The schemas feel a little limited to what they're building into the product. It's probably just a maturity thing. I imagine we'll see the features I want in the next year."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"The logs could be better."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"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."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
"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."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"I would like to see more integration."
"This solution integrates with another module in Metasploit, that doesn't exist in the other solutions. It is subscribed to on our roadmap, but we chose to implement both Nexppose and AppSpider."
"In order to be able to properly test the solution and make a decision, I would like to receive the test license code instantly and eliminate the wait time."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
