ROI: Cynet yields an excellent ROI by preventing cyberattacks and safeguarding sensitive data. Trend Micro XDR delivers value through automation. Its efficient alerts ensure timely threat detection and prevention.
"Another noteworthy feature that I find appealing in Microsoft Defender is the credit-backed simulation. This feature enables organizations to train their users on effectively responding to phishing emails through a simulated training environment."
"The most valuable feature is the DLP because that's where we can have an added data protection layer and extend it not just to emails but to the documents that users are working on. We can make sure that sensitive data is tagged and flagged if unauthorized parties are using it."
"The integration between all the Defender products is the most valuable feature."
"The best feature is threat hunting. There are a lot of other features I like, such as the alert mechanism. The chain alert mechanism has a huge impact. It combines all the alerts into one incident and automatically correlates them with AI."
"The ability to hunt that IM data set or the identity data set at the same time is valuable. As incident response professionals, we are very used to EDRs and having device process registry telemetry, but a lot of times, we do not have that identity data right there with us, so we have to go search for it in some other silo. Being able to cross-correlate via both datasets at the same time is something that we can only do in Def"
"The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics."
"My clients like Defender's file integrity monitoring. They're monitoring Windows and Linux system files."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is simple to upgrade."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"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."
"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 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."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"We are very satisfied with the level of performance we get."
"Cynet is unique in that it has almost everything included and it was built up from the ground, instead of a bundle of purchased and composed modules. It gives you easier very good visibility than Sentinel One as well as a lower maintenance burden."
"VisionOne offers a clear window into the security posture of our endpoints."
"For our day-to-day use cases, the correlation and attribution of different alerts are valuable. It is sort of an SIEM, but it is intelligent enough to run the queries and intentionally detect and prioritize attacks for you. At the end of the day, it is different data that you see. It correlates data for you and makes it meaningful. You can see that someone got an email and clicked a link. That link downloaded, for example, malware into the memory of the machine. From there, you can see that they started moving laterally to your environment. I quite like it because it gives visibility, so Workbench is what we use every day"
"I appreciate the value of real-time activity monitoring."
"The zero-day vulnerability is valuable."
"It helps us with investigations."
"I can prevent my environment from different types of attacks based on what I see in the Vision One console."
"They were one of the companies, early on, that spent a lot of time integrating their toolsets, and I was really impressed with that... the endpoint management system could reach out to the Deep Discovery system on the network and pick up something that it perceived as a suspicious object."
"The automatic EDR system that notifies us when something is wrong is valuable."
"Generally, antivirus products provide a central control to manage every device in terms of who is installing it or who is trying to disable it, but Microsoft doesn't have such a control center for the antivirus product it provides."
"The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"The patching capability should be there. Patching is something that you cannot do even though you see the vulnerabilities present in your environment. For patching, you have to depend on another solution."
"The management and automation of the cloud apps have room for improvement."
"The dashboard should be easier to use. There is also improvement needed in the reporting when it comes to exporting or scheduling reports."
"The user interface of Microsoft 365 Defender could improve. They could make it simpler."
"I'd like to see a wider solution that includes not only desktop devices but also other devices, such as servers, storage cabinets, switching equipment, et cetera."
"Cynet fails to deploy the same technology in mobile devices."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"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."
"They have some things in the pipeline, we understand, and they're going to be able to support Android and all these other devices soon. The key is the devices - which is an aspect that is lacking right now. Every company has that problem, not just Cynet."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"The product needs to have a lot more maturity, and they need to improve the overall technical support framework for getting the value out of XDR."
"The area for improvement is mobile security. We have just finished a proof of concept for Zero Trust Secure Access. We withdrew from this PoC because it does not have that many points for proxy across Europe. Our organization is across Europe... At this time, they are only located in Germany and the UK."
"They should increase their potential for third-party integrations."
"We do use the automation capability a little. However, we noticed some limitations, especially on the playbook side."
"I would like to have the capability to export the information we receive from the XDR into Microsoft Excel."
"The automation capabilities on-premises could be improved, as we currently have to manually activate servers and push policies."
"The information captured by Trend Vision One needs to be more detailed."
"They have a DLP module in Tredn Moicros and they need to enhance its capabilities."
