We performed a comparison between Cynet and Wazuh based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"I like the easy integration and advanced possibilities. We can implement it at customer sites in a few clicks, but we can also dive deep and drill down to extended features. There's a very good starting point to get into this product and all the features from Defender."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is scalable."
"For me, the advanced hunting capabilities have been really great. It allowed querying the dataset with their own language, which is KQL or Kusto Query Language. That has allowed me to get much more insight into the events that have occurred. The whole power of 365 Defender is that you can get the whole story. It allows you to query an email-based activity and then correlate it with an endpoint-based activity."
"We can automate routine tasks and write scripts to carry out difficult tasks, which makes things easier for us."
"The timeline feature is excellent. I also like the phishing simulation. We have phishing campaigns to educate employees and warn them about these threats."
"Setting up Microsoft 365 Defender is easy. It's a user-friendly solution that provides threat protection. It has good stability and scalability."
"A good feature is how the solution packages varied information into a single dashboard that's readable and meets our needs."
"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."
"We are protecting all our workstations."
"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."
"It is quite stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that the configuration and the usage of the product are not so complicated. For people responsible for using this infrastructure for the first line of workstation monitoring, it's quite easy to use."
"The MITRE ATT&CK correlation is most valuable."
"My company implemented Wazuh because it was relatively inexpensive. They could quickly get their hands on it to check a box for some audit and compliance."
"I like the cloud-native infrastructure and that it's free. We didn't have to pay anything, and it has the capabilities of many premium solutions in the market. We could integrate all of our services and infrastructure in the cloud with Wazuh. From an integration point of view, Wazuh is pretty good. I had a good experience with this platform."
"Some of the strengths of Wazuh that stand out for us include its scalability when deployed on Azure, its open-source nature, which allows for customization based on our needs, and its compatibility with various security solutions like threat intelligence platforms."
"It is excellent in terms of visualization and indexing services, making it a powerful tool for malware detection."
"One of the most beneficial features of Wazuh, particularly in the context of security needs, is the machine learning data handling capability."
"Wazuh is simple to use for PCI compliance."
"The configuration assessment and Pile integrity monitoring features are decent."
"Microsoft frequently changes the names of its products, sometimes even renaming entire portals or features."
"Since all of our databases are updated and located in the cloud, I would like additional support for this."
"My client would like the solution to be more customizable without using code. You can only build on the default console, but we're not allowed to change it."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"Support is hit or miss. Microsoft wants you to buy premium support contracts. Though they call themselves professional support, it's almost like throwing questions into a black hole. You get an answer, but it's never helpful."
"There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity ."
"The logs could be better."
"Management of the console could be simplified and made more user-friendly because right now it's not very easy to use."
"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."
"Its dashboard is not so good. On the dashboard, they don't show the count for client endpoints, which is a failure of this product. This count should be shown on the dashboard. I have 1,000 clients, but I can't see it anywhere on the dashboard."
"Linux servers are not supported."
"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."
"Sometimes, it is necessary for me to make important changes to a hard drive of a computer, and because Cynet does not allow me to do that, I have to go to the console and remove the computer from the security group just for Cynet. After that, I have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes for that to take effect. I would like to be able to disable Cynet locally. I shouldn’t have to go to the console to find the PC and then take it out of the group and then add it again to the group. I should locally be able to disable Cynet on a computer with a password or something like that, but it is currently not possible."
"In future releases, I would like to see cloud security aspects included."
"Wazuh needs more security and features, particularly visualization features and a health monitor."
"The computing resources are consuming and do not make sense."
"The implementation is very complex."
"Since it's an open-source tool, scalability is the main issue."
"I think that the next release should be more suitable for large enterprises, because currently they are not because large companies do not rely on open source solutions."
"The support team could be more responsive and provide quicker replies during our working hours in Indonesia, which would be a significant improvement."
"Wazuh is missing many things that a typical SIEM should have."
"Some features, like alerting, are complex with Wazuh."
