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)."We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product is very easy to use. Customers really appreciate that."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a very scalable solution...The initial setup of Cynet was easy."
"It can be deployed in autonomous mode, and then it automatically blocks malware threats."
"If some unusual activity happens on the network, such as I open administrator sessions in a short duration of an hour on many computers in the lab, it sends me an alert about my network saying that one user opened three, four, or five sessions in one hour. Similarly, if I try to play with the disk size on a computer, it will send me an alert, and it will also stop the operation."
"The initial setup is very fast and very easy."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the reality graphical user interface."
"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."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the number of available connectors and the simplicity to start to automate."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"It's great that the solution is integrated with FortiAnalyzer."
"It is a scalable solution...The implementation phase of the product was not tough or difficult."
"The reputation of the brand is very good."
"The solution is easy to implement and includes 450 built-in connectors."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiSOAR is the playbook, which has to be defined to apply the policies."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"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 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."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The solution is not stable."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"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."
"The solution just needs to keep maturing and they need to keep up with the threat landscape to ensure they're protecting clients well as time passes."
"I would like to see more emphasis on building the data lake and storing all endpoint data in the enterprise data lake so that data mining can be performed"
"There are some shortcomings in Cynet's integration capabilities that need improvement."
"The command line interface could be improved."
"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."
"Automation could be improved, and orchestration could be added to the features."
"Fortinet's tech support overall is not great when they are at their best."
"The solution doesn't connect well with the network devices."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR's dashboard is not easy to understand."
"The technology and integrations are important so should continue to be enhanced."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The UI design of the solution needs to be changed since it can get difficult for a newbie to operate."
"Fortinet FortiSOAR should improve its analysis."
"The area that needs improvement is integration with multiple third-party vendors."
