Ivan Burke - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective incident response and investigation features
We also use Palo Alto's XDR, SentinelOne, Trend Micro, and quite a few others. SentinelOne is nice because you have a centralized dashboard. You just have a single instance and can manage all your clients from one central dashboard, which Cybereason currently lacks. It hinders our use case because we have to redeploy our rules. However, SentinelOne's search feature is slightly more limited than Cybereason's. SentinelOne's search feature is very restrictive, and they have a certain way you have to do it. If you don't follow that way, you're kind of stuck. The deployability is the same, and we have not had scalability issues. We don't work with a larger client. Our largest deployment was about 3,000 endpoints. Cybereason's tech support or the support engineer tends to be slightly better than SentinelOne's because there is no direct contact for support in our region. We usually have to reach out to either the European or the American branches for assistance. There's a bit of a time delay or something that happens. Those are the only major differences.
Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has an investigation feature, which is useful for building storylines."
"Cybereason XDR's most useful feature is the investigation."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The customer service and support get back to you real quick."
"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."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The most valuable feature is the monitored support behind it."
 

Cons

"Cybereason's customer support could be better."
"The one thing we sometimes have issues with is its integration with other security applications like antiviruses."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"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."
"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"A support center in Asia is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Microsoft Defender. It has a subscription and no standard license."
"It costs 18,000 per year, but we have the whole package with not only Cynet but also the Perception Point for emails. There are also some small security courses for our users."
"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."
"The pricing was good."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"it's not cheap, but I would rate it a three out of ten. If one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Pricing wise, Cynet seems to be very competitive. The cost is probably lower than that offered by many of its competitors for all the functions and features it offers."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
