I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.

Cynet offers scalable, efficient endpoint management for diverse sectors, supporting cloud and on-premises installations, ensuring adaptability across industries.
Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
The solution is highly scalable.
Cynet is very scalable.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.

Sentiment score

I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
 

Room For Improvement

Cynet needs improved mobile support, faster technical assistance, flexible reporting, better threat handling, and enhanced integrations and features.
One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
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.
Integration with local Active Directory, not only Azure AD, is a must.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
 

Setup Cost

Cynet offers affordable, flexible subscriptions with high ROI, cost-effective features, and competitive pricing compared to CrowdStrike and Sentinel One.
One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
I think the pricing of Cynet is fair and one of the better options in the market.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk.
 

Valuable Features

Cynet provides advanced threat detection, easy setup, and flexible pricing, appealing to small teams with low management effort.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.
The SOAR function, deception, and forensics are very useful.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.
Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view.

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…
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.
