We performed a comparison between Cynet and WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"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."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The stability is very good."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"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 feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"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."
"I like the Cynet Correlator™ feature."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The basic functionality is fantastic. It has been performing well. I generated a report on one machine, using that as the deployment machine. When scanning the network, it discovered machines on the network and deployed the same endpoint protection from that one machine I have on my network."
"The tool provides automated responses."
"The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the dimension logging platform and the network traffic filtering."
"I like WatchGuard's network segmentation features. It's easy to configure user policies."
"The interface is very good."
"WatchGuard is very user-friendly. It provides us with all of the security services we need."
"WatchGuard Threat Detection and Response is a reliable solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The SIEM could be improved."
"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 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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"I would like to see support for mobile protection and some additional reports included."
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"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."
"Increased application for SOAR abilities across interconnected devices would be a welcome improvement."
"One thing to note is that I highly recommend adding a deep learning-based prevention environment as an additional layer to Cynet. However, I always advise my customers to start with Cynet or XDR, for example, and then focus on the people, technology, and processes involved. This is the best approach to ensure that you are not breached with ransomware. While Cynet can prevent most attacks, there have been cases where ransomware has been quicker than Cynet's detection capabilities. In these situations, an additional tool is necessary to ensure complete protection, and that is what I sell as well."
"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."
"The reporting is a little weak and could be improved. The other downside is that Cynet does not use the local time zone. It's based off of Greenwich Mean Time."
"This product needs to be fully integrated with the firewall. Currently, it only sends logs to the cloud and asks the firewall to correlate them."
"The reporting isn't so good. If they worked to improve this aspect of the solution, it would be much stronger."
"The interface is not the best."
"I'd like a few extra features, especially around threat severity assessment."
"When it comes to live-monitoring, the user-interface could be improved to make things easier."
"The website must provide more information on the product."
"WatchGuard should offer more visibility into user activity. For example, we should have more details when WatchGuard denies a user access to a port."
"The administrative UI/UX could be significantly improved."
