We performed a comparison between Cynet and Rapid7 InsightIDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect is undoubtedly the exploration capability"
"The portal is quite user-friendly. There is integration with Office, Intune, and other products from the same portal. From there, we can see which policies are installed on a particular machine. We also can manage devices, groups, and tagging."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"The advantage of Microsoft Defender XDR has over other XDRs in the market is that it's easy to use. You can quickly differentiate between alerts, incidents, devices, software, etc. It's easier to investigate an incident, and you have so many options. You can automate investigations and use playbooks. There's also the live response session, which is something you can't find in any other XDR."
"It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment."
"Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution."
"It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints."
"I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial."
"We are using almost all of the features and we find it quite good overall."
"The initial setup is simple and user-friendly."
"A reliable security system that automatically quarantines anything suspicious."
"The visibility it gives is excellent."
"The dashboard is beautiful, overall easy of use, and the UBA and NBA features are valued."
"The product has valuable front-end features."
"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."
"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."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"It is a very stable solution."
"At times, when we have an incident email and we click on the link for that incident, it opens a pop-up, but there is nothing. It has happened a couple of times."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"I personally have not seen much evidence of how Defender can enhance the story of zero trust for enterprises."
"While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience."
"From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"There could be a way to proactively monitor unusual activity ."
"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."
"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"
"The reporting functionality in Cynet may not be as comprehensive or flexible as desired."
"I'd like to see more data loss prevention within the product."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support. The support should be faster to respond."
"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."
"I cannot provide more details about Cynet's automation features. While Cynet claims to be automated, the specifics of this automation are unclear. They claim to have a high capability to detect and block attacks, but I am cautious about companies that claim to solve every problem without limitations. It does help in identifying malware on the network but doesn't specifically identify vulnerabilities."
"We'd like something that makes it easier to manage specific points."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
