Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Splunk, Rapid7 and others in User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)."The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The stability is very good."
"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."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"This solution requires less management and is very easy to use."
"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."
"I like that it is possible to use the solution to check more information about the users' devices."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"The support needs improvement."
"Detections could be improved."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"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."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the usability of this product for new threats. Meaning, not everything which is new is properly seen by the product and not all the required actions are taken."
"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."
"Most of their times are in Greenwich Mean Time. I would like to see more local time zones."
"An administration feature will be useful for Cynet."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."
"It is significantly complex."
