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…
AshishDubey - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and stable tool that offers users a great GUI
Though I have not extensively worked on LogRhythm NDR, I know the need for a compute side since, in the past, we had required the compute side to deploy the solution in one of our company's client's infrastructure. The product's setup phase was easy and not complicated. The deployment process of LogRhythm NDR can vary between three and four weeks, depending on the skill set of the people involved in the deployment process. For deployment of the product, you have to purchase the license from LogRhythm, and you have to ensure that the compute side is ready for LogRhythm. After you deploy NDR and sensors in the premises of our company's customer on the SPAN and TAP port, and once the logs go through throughput, you can see the logs coming to LogRhythm NDR's console.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of incident response, Cynet can contain attacks, offer a trial period to customers, and uninstall if not continued. The most valuable aspect is its integration capabilities, covering endpoints and network data for a comprehensive view of threats."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point."
"For overall satisfaction, I rate Cynet between nine to ten out of ten, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other users."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"It's transparent, so it's not something where every user has to press a button to download or do the thing. It is centralized, in fact. Personally, I use Malwarebytes and other tools, which are fine for home use. Cynet is also relatively silent in terms of operation, except when it's required to act."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It's an excellent security tool with a user-friendly interface that's easy for anyone to use."
"The solution doesn't require the creation of rules or use cases from scratch, which assists our delivery team in installation and deployment. Its dashboard is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The inability to add contact information inside the Cynet is also an issue because it makes things more complicated. I would like to have a simple feature to enter a contact name and number for the person taking care of that unit or that server."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"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."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"It is an endpoint agent, but they don't have a probe for checking the network traffic. They could improve from this point of view."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, I would like LogRhythm NDR to reduce the compute size. I would also like LogRhythm NDR to improve the pricing model."
"The tool has one limitation compared to its competitors. It does have a mobile app for NDR monitoring. Moreover, there is only operational training and not deployment training."
"There are opportunities for improvement, particularly in upgrading the expertise of local professionals and addressing support issues, which could potentially lead to cost reduction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"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."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"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."
"There are certain payments to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the product yearly. The pricing of LogRhythm NDR falls under the mid-range, in my opinion."
"When looking at the market and comparing it with other vendors, the cost seems relatively high."
"The tool costs are two million rupees for 5000 users."
