Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.6
Cynet is praised for its stability, reliability, and minimal issues, achieving high user ratings despite minor initial false positives.
Sentiment score
7.2
Exabeam is generally stable, handling large data but occasionally experiences downtime and delays; recent improvements noted.
These problems were not frequent, and the last six to eight months have been stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Improvements needed in mobile support, technical response, customization, reporting, usability, integrations, and feature enhancements like AI detection.
Exabeam needs flexibility, faster responses, better UI, documentation, integrations, cloud support, reporting, deployment, and more certifications.
There should be more options than deploying solely through group policy, as the assumption that GPO is working isn’t always the case.
Having a DLP feature would also add value.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
 

Setup Cost

Cynet offers competitive pricing with flexible subscription options, integrating multiple features in one solution, including optional support costs.
Exabeam's pricing, based on user count or data volume, is seen as reasonable but can be costly for some.
I think the pricing of Cynet is fair and one of the better options in the market.
 

Valuable Features

Cynet excels with user-friendly interface, strong threat detection, seamless integration, and comprehensive features for security and scalability.
Exabeam is a user-friendly platform excelling in behavior analytics, integration, security logging, AI, and affordable threat detection.
The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.

Featured Reviews

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.
Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
