Setup is smooth and management is seamless, while improvements in email filtering transparency enhance efficiency

For data correlation, we just haven't worked long enough with it to assess its impact on our overall threat response strategy. We prefer a system that simply informs us when there is a problem; we don't want to engage too much in threat hunting. Therefore, we're not looking to create a SOC from this, which is also why we moved from XDR to MDR. There are areas for improvement, including the difficulty in getting the right handles on the applied email filters. It's sometimes unclear why one email is treated as spam and another is not, even if they contain similar content. Making the process of how emails are treated a bit more transparent would be beneficial.

Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability

My advice to those wanting to implement RSA NetWitness Network is they have to first do a little due diligence, such as the exact requirement based on their needs. That will give them a direction for their investment because otherwise, the bill of material or bill of quantity (BOQ) may be higher side. It is important to do good due intelligence on the environment, see the exact requirement, and then go ahead with the solution. The solution is perfectly stable. I rate RSA NetWitness Network a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The HyperDetect feature in GravityZone XDR is effective."

"Scalability is pretty easy. It's easy to increase the capacity. You can just add on licenses to the existing license, and the duration of the license can be adjusted. For example, you've already bought a license for a year, and you want to add some more users. We can just add on licenses for the remaining period so that the entire organization can have the same expiry date. That makes renewal easier."

"I would rate GravityZone XDR more than nine out of ten."

"I appreciate the overall utilization of AI to enhance security posture."

"I find that the auto-response capability is most valuable."

"The solution has an automatic patch management capability."

"It provides an in-depth analysis and gives recommendations, along with a historical search capability."

"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."

"The log correlation is good."

"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products. Additionally, there might be a need to simplify the interface in the future."

"Another area of improvement is CPU utilization. CPU utilization could be improved."

"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."

"The product could be improved by offering a single panel for the management of all Bitdefender products."

"The resource consumption is high for Bitdefender GravityZone XDR, nearly using one gigabyte of RAM, especially on Windows 10 and 11."

"It's not very mature, and additional costs are involved."

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not the price of the software itself that makes it expensive. It's because you have to buy a VM; you have to buy additional hardware. All those things make it slightly costlier."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

"It is an expensive product."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
