Featured Reviews

Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Helps in the management of compliance, secret events and information
One of our customers had a Huawei firewall and we required help to do the configuration. However, the installation was easy with other standard vendors like Cisco and Check Point. The product's deployment got completed in four to five days and we required three people to handle it. One person was in charge of the portal's initial set up and the other one handled the integration of on-premises devices. The third one took care of Office 365 integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides good protection from ransomware and malware attacks. It is very good as compared to other products. If any threat is there, their support is very good. They immediately respond to the users and do a follow-up. They call us and also provide email support."
"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."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"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."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
 

Cons

"Their deployment needs some work, especially with integration with remote monitoring management systems like Datto AutoTask or ConnectWise Automate."
"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."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"SIEM - Although with their Centralised Log Management Cynet has created the basis for SIEM functionality, this is to be expanded in the near future."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"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."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an extra cost if you want the support of Cynet."
"The pricing was good."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"Everything is included in this one solution and the pricing is pretty competitive."
"We purchase the product’s yearly license."
"Cynet is cheaper than other solutions in the market."
"The price is very competitive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
