We performed a comparison between Cynet and Secureworks Taegis XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Wazuh and others in Extended Detection and Response (XDR)."For me, the advanced hunting capabilities have been really great. It allowed querying the dataset with their own language, which is KQL or Kusto Query Language. That has allowed me to get much more insight into the events that have occurred. The whole power of 365 Defender is that you can get the whole story. It allows you to query an email-based activity and then correlate it with an endpoint-based activity."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial."
"The integration, visibility, vulnerability management, and device identification are valuable."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"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."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The onboarding and offboarding need improvement. I work with other vendors as well, and they have an option to add a device or remove a device from the portal, whereas with Microsoft 365 Defender, we need to do that manually. However, once you do that, everything can be controlled through the portal, but getting the device onboarded and offboarded is currently manual. If we have an option to simply remove a device from the portal or get a device added from the portal, it would be more convenient. The rest of the features are similar. This is the only area where I found it different from others. I would also like to be able to simply filter with a few of the queries that are already there."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"The management and automation of the cloud apps have room for improvement."
"Because of the training model, Defender XDR's automatic response sometimes blocks legitimate users and activities. Also, the UI sometimes responds slowly."
"What could be improved in Microsoft 365 Defender is its licensing, e.g. it should be more consolidated and would be good if it has some optimizations. Improving the alerts and notifications, in terms of adding more details, would also be good for this solution."
"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."
"One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"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."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
