Zuhair Hasan

Manager, Information Technology Security at Nesma

Has good integration capability and provides information and events but improvement is needed in information retrieval speed

The best features are the comprehensive event collection and analysis. Once set up properly, we receive all events and information. The team analyzes our data and presents incidents to us. We can communicate with their team to escalate and resolve incidents. It has a feature we use to search for information about our environment and past incidents. This is very valuable. The integration capability is very good - the ClearSkies SaaS NG SIEM team is collaborative. We've integrated most of our systems, including EDR and NDR. They have agents to collect events from servers and assets.

It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand

The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."

"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward; there are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors, with enhanced capability to integrate custom applications, and from there you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."

"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."

More NetWitness Platform pros

Cons

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology. They also improve their correlation engine. In addition to collecting logs from devices, they can collect the traffic and then correlate these logs and the traffic information."

"They can add behavior analytics and AI or machine learning technology."

"The main issue for improvement is the platform's slowness in presenting information. Retrieving information can take a little time when clicking on something."

"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."

"I am not happy with the RSA support. Sometimes they can be really annoying because it takes so long to get the support that you need."

"Advance monitoring and alerting feature is not stable (Event Stream Analysis)."

"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."

"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."

"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."

"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd say it's in the middle range. Pricing is very good compared to others."

"They have changed the pricing policy. Its price is competitive. Its price is less than half of the price of QRadar, LogRhythm, and Splunk."

"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."

"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."

"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."

"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."

"It is cheap."

"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."

"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."

"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
