We performed a comparison between Cynet and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)."The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The stability is very good."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"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."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have found the solution very useful, it integrates well with other platforms."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The Palo Alto ecosystem has a marketplace offering integration with Sentinel or other products."
"Many different playbooks are available and can be customized."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The product can automate security tasks."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"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."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"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."
"It's only one cloud right now. It might be helpful for some companies to have an on-premies option."
"With Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR, managing its setup phase can be a complicated task."
"The configuration of the solution could improve it is difficult."
"I would like to see Cortex become less dependent on Active Directory and group policies to manage the deployment. Maybe I need to update my understanding of how to deploy it, but that's the way I know how to use it."
"The solution should be made a bit cheaper."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
"It is been decommissioned by Palo Alto."
"In terms of improvement, it needs to be more modular. It's not. When you're working in layouts and you create specific apps within layouts, there's no portability right now in order to reuse that code across multiple layouts. I can't take a tab and say I want to use this tab on these other layouts. I have to physically go in there and recreate it from scratch, which is maddening."
