Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Currently, we are not using any other solution for this use case, but previously we used MISP, which is an open-source project that requires a lot of effort to make work. That way, it required a lot of attention from our system administrator, and we had to sanitize the data very frequently because the peers we had. Sometimes they flooded our systems with chunk data and that needs to be handled and we decided to go with a paid solution instead.

Managed threat detection efficiently with minimal resource usage
We used the solution as a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. It detected threats, and the team managing our services took care of it. We did not face any major challenges or attacks, and memory utilization was minimal. It functioned very well Cynet was valuable since it efficiently…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"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."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The level of automation is very good because the majority of the time, it blocks the attacks without requiring anything from our side. The technicians don't have to do anything. They are just alerted about what happened. So, the user intelligence works quite well."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
 

Cons

"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"They have automated response capability, and they're moving more and more into SOAR capability. They have built-in deception technology with host-file users, phantoms, etc. We used to call them honeypots. So, they're on target. They're doing a really good job, and they should continue to improve with SOAR."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Maybe they should add more cloud-to-cloud integrations and also focus on integrations with local, on-premises services."
"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."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"I think the technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"The price is very competitive."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
