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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cynet is light and transparent when downloaded. The product's data aggregation is also valuable since you can see everything you need on a page."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"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."
"I have found the continued support and pretty much all the features to be valuable. They all stand out as being positive. It continues to detect unusual activity when it's supposed to, and so far we haven't had any issues."
"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"The UI is very good."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be more customization options and detailed information provided in the reports."
"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."
"Compliance reports need to improve."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Our billing is on a quarterly basis, but they have monthly or annual billing availability."
"It gives you a high level of protection at a very good price."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"Cynet is very affordable."
"I don't have specific information about integration capabilities or licensing costs."
"The price is very competitive."
"It costs us 20,000 to 28,000 per year."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
