Syteca Reviews

Pros

You get right functionality with good service. Software doing exactly what you expect from monitoring and controlling software.

Cons

Software UI not responsive and no user friendly on mobile devices.

Pros

Integration was very easy. The install is silent and can be done without affecting users. The ability to view from our own screen using a browser is great. The amount of things that can be recorded and alerted on is a major plus. Searches thru the recordings for keywords helps to reduce how much info to sift through.

Cons

Feature requests take a bit of time to get and if you request support in the afternoon, it seems to be the next business day before any reply comes. The amount of space the recordings require is also a major consideration. We have had to increase our drive by 1TB.

Reasons for Choosing Syteca

The system was clunky and could only be accessed from the server. It was not friendly to use and very slow. Support could not fix issues with the product and any agent upgrade required manual pushes which rebooted the clients. Backups were also a pain on a VM which couldn't be turned off even with the VM being backed up every night.

Pros

Ekran System is designed to support a variety of IT security practices, including user access control, network segmentation, file integrity monitoring, privileged user monitoring, and data exfiltration detection. The system also features multi factor authentication, password management, and single sign on capabilities, allowing for secure and efficient user access.

Cons

Ekran Systems can be complex to set up and maintain, requiring specialized IT knowledge.

Pros

Ekran does what it promises which is monitoring our users productivity and performance plus it augments our security nicely by providing evidences for our controls and audits. It also provides alerts based on a number of rules/conditions and we have been able to identify behavioral risks and further improve our controls to support PCI and SOC 2 audits.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like was the inability to record only when an alert was generated. As always, Ekran support was very receptive and responsive to our request and they will be rolling out this new functionality in the next few months.

Pros

We have been customers of the Ekran system for several years and the system provides us with tremendous added value and visibility into the activity of privileged users
Along with the ability to stop suspicious activity and analyze the activity in the corporate work environment.
The ease of implementing and using the system creates an easy and friendly user experience for us.
It is important to note that the service provided is at a high level and the system works with zero malfunctions

Cons

I didn't find any cons in the product, I'm an existing customer for over 5 years in total

Pros

EKRAN cares about its customers even after the transaction is completed. Their response time is excellent, and they have proven many times that they are a customer-centric organization.

Cons

In the beginning, we faced some technical difficulties when upgrading to newer versions. With help from the EKRAN's technical team, we managed to successfully resolve the issues, and now we are to upgrade without any trouble.

Pros

TO be able to have a quick view on internal activity on the network, for employee monitoring but even more to minimize internal threats, intentional or not.

Cons

Necessary to have some help to understand the implementation of Ekran (technically and legally)

Pros

very easy to use, doing a good very job.

Cons

there are not a lot of things i didnt like about the system.

Reasons for Switching to Syteca

cheaper

Pros

Ease of use and it gave us exactly what we needed, which is being able to go back in time and revisit what happened during that particular session. We already had a couple of users asking to view the recording themselves in order to verify if they actually did a particular command / sequence or not

Cons

UI could be improved to feel more modern
Easier access to get reports etc.

Pros

Thanks to the remote work feature, you can watch the screen and manage your projects remotely. Your learning time is short as it is easy to use in general.

Cons

I didn't have a bad experience, I think it's a great software

easy to deploy and use. very good support

Pros

I does what it should, is easy to run and to understand while the support team is very responsive.

There is no real lack of function we miss so I don't have any negative to say...

Pros

The support provided by the company is by far the best for any software I have ever encountered.

Cons

Configuration and STIG implementation can get a little tricky

Pros

Value for money and easy to manage .Very Useful

Cons

Graphics and appearance can be improved a slightly

Pros

It is very easy to use and with great functionality. And its price is cheap for your practical aspects

Cons

The least I like about this software is that it is not translated into Spanish

Pros

If you need a solution to monitor your privileged user access sessions, Ekran is the easiest to use and quick to deploy. The installation and deployment of the agents took less than an hour. Unlike other solutions, Ekran's management console is very straightforward and with a couple of clicks we set up our environment. The documentation is very accurate and up to date, and it follows every aspect of the system. We haven't had any issues so far, but the support team has been very helpful with the setup process.

Cons

This isn't really a con, but I wish there were more built-in alert rules. Nevertheless, the built-in rule set covered more than 80% of our needs.

Pros

Easy installation and integration. Excellent amount of recorded and alerted things. Easy search within recordings. With Ekran we are able to identify risks and maintain ours services uncompromised.

Cons

Additional investment to disk space to keep records must be planned well in advanced.
