We performed a comparison between Cynet and Fortinet FortiSOAR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)."Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"Its ability to revert back from a previous state is quite notable. This feature is particularly valuable because, for maintaining integrity, it can inspect the socket for any firewall modifications. In practice, it allows us to return to a previous configuration when everything was functioning correctly."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"I like that you can implement it in the managed service portfolio."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The interface is exceptionally clear and easy to understand."
"Advanced detection and protection against ransomware paired with SOC monitoring are the most valuable features. They have 24/7 SOC monitoring and file activity. It is a very robust tool."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"We use the product for security."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The good news is that FortiSOAR is not hard to maintain. If you prepared well and deployed strong initially, then maintenance will take half an hour every other week, not more than that. A single person can do it."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR is a very interactive and user-friendly solution."
"The product can be automated for network security purposes. The solution offers a great security automation response."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"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."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"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'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"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 doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"I have found that Fortinet FortiSOAR needs a lot of improvement. The Orchestration needs to be improved."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should add more documentation for some use cases."
"Technical support could be improved."
