## What the models said for it

- "For most mid-market B2B companies without dedicated deception engineers, Cynet or Tracebit typically offer the best balance of capability, cost, and manageability." (Kimi K2, Deception)
- "Purpose-built for companies without SOCs. Bundles tool + humans. Often the best fit for 500-person companies." (Kimi K2, EDR)
- "If you want deception plus broader detection/response capabilities in one product, look at Cynet" (GPT-5.4 mini, Deception)
- "Cynet\u2019s ITDR is delivered with CyOps MDR and IR included and autonomous remediation <60s" (Muse Glimmer 30B, ITDR)

## And against it

- "users consistently cite limited customization in reporting and dashboards, and limited third-party integrations" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Deception)
- "Poor MDR responsiveness, ineffective email filtering, simplistic features" (Kimi K2, ITDR)
