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.

Automated security monitoring increases efficiency, but market visibility needs improvement
I am currently evaluating Stellar Cyber Open XDR in terms of their support. I do not see any major areas for improvement as of now. Their support is good, and the team is small, enabling them to cater to everyone effectively. While I have not encountered significant drawbacks so far, market penetration is challenging due to the product's newness, despite its flexibility and customization features. I find their user interface to be quite good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"My clients have used Cynet since it is a very automated solution with excellent detection capabilities."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"Cynet's most valuable features are laptop and server performance, internal network monitoring, and external firewall lock management."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"It can integrate with almost any cybersecurity tool available in the market."
"Stellar Cyber Open XDR offers these functionalities at a more affordable price, making it easier for me to position it with price-sensitive customers."
 

Cons

"There have to be more integrations with other firewalls and domain controllers of the network."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Cynet should include complete Single Sign-On (SSO) services."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"I would rate the stability at about five to six. The platform requires some fine-tuning, especially when integrating data sources and creating connectors."
"Support is an issue because they have a limited number of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is extremely affordable. I'll give it a five out of five in terms of price. It was half the cost of the next closest competitor, and the competitor didn't provide SOC services."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It’s a single license platform."
