Room For Improvement

Improvements needed in mobile support, technical response, customization, reporting, usability, integrations, and feature enhancements like AI detection.

Having a DLP feature would also add value.
Advanced reporting could see enhancements as there are some issues with latency.

Splunk User Behavior Analytics enhances threat detection with ease of use, scalability, and integration, improving data management efficiency.
The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
I also utilize it for anomaly detection and behavior analysis, particularly using Splunk's machine learning environment.

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.
