Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the network part of it because most of the endpoint products in XDS products we find Cynet has networking user behavior analysis and network analysis, for the whole team."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful."
"We use the product for security."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"Generally, the tool helps just automating a lot of manual load or repetitive tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"I suppose everybody's working on AI these days. So, I would like to see more about AI-based threats."
"Their support for issues related to the portal or feature problems isn't great."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"The ease of playbook creation on FortiSOAR needs improvement."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"The tool's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution lacks proper documentation, so we have to test and trial each playbook and integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price should not be less than $100 which is quite reasonable for this solution because you are getting multiple components."
"Cynet is cheap."
"The licensing for Cynet is yearly. The solution pricing depends on the customer, but it is not very expensive."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"Cynet has a pay-as-you-go pricing model."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"The pricing was good."
"The solution offers both licensing and subscription models that are similar in price to other products."
"Since Africa is struggling with foreign exchange, the solution is pretty expensive there."
"Considering all the features of Fortinet FortiSOAR, I think it has a good price."

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."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is fine compared to other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is expensive."
"If you compare Fortinet FortiSOAR's price with the prices of the market leader, Palo Alto, then it can be considered a cheaper product."
