Roshan Jadhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Vincacyber
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.

Automation streamlines workflow and integrates seamlessly with various applications
I serve as both a reseller and customer of Fortinet FortiSOAR. The solution is suitable for all types of businesses from small to enterprise. The integration capability of Fortinet FortiSOAR deserves a rating of 10. It can be integrated with any system, and we have the capability for custom connectors. Even if Fortinet FortiSOAR doesn't have a specific connector, you can easily create a custom connector using AI. Simply provide your requirements or solution needs, and Fortinet FortiSOAR will create the connector, enabling integration with any application. My final rating for Fortinet FortiSOAR would be 10 out of 10, where one is bad and ten is good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product did not utilize much memory or resources from the background, which was a significant advantage."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is a complete solution, which makes cyber security very free and almost perfect. There is no such thing as perfect cyber security, but as far as it can go, sign it comes close to being perfect and holistic. Cynet is always comprehensive from the perspective of functionality, as well as from the standpoint that it encompasses not only technology but also processes and people. The triad of people, processes, and technology is crucial and should always be in place. To my knowledge, no other product or platform combines all three components into one, but Cynet does."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"I would recommend Cynet to others."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"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."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"As a reseller, I believe the best functions in Cynet's product are the lightweight agent and good detection performance."
"It has a quick detection and response time."
"The most fascinating aspect of FortiSOAR is its modern and simple to understand and operate dashboards."

"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."

Cons

"Cynet is capable and cloud-based, however, enterprise organizations often prefer on-premises servers for managing entire organizations."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"The solution lacks URL filtering."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Could have better integration with other security applications."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."

"I don't currently see where the solution is lacking features. For us and for our clients it works very well and we're pleased with it."
"The solution lacks proper documentation, so we have to test and trial each playbook and integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cynet is cheap."
"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"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."
"My company's customers have to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. Cynet is not expensive."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"The price of the product should be lower. The brand value that Fortinet has, it has the reputation of being a reasonably priced product, and they have an enormous customer base in India. Most of the SME market is covered by FortiGate firewalls. It becomes an easy way for consultants, such as us, or even system integrators, to open the door with the Fortinet product lines."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
