DNIF HYPERCLOUD vs NetWitness Platform comparison

"Has a great search capability."

"The solution is quite stable and offers good performance. It also works on a virtual machine. We haven't found any issues with it so far. It's been reliable."

"The beauty of the solution is that you can develop infrastructure for a data lake using open sources that are separate from the licenses."

"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of EPS it can handle."

"I like the MITRE table, a feature I saw for the first time in the same solution. There was one MITRE tactic table, which can be used to identify threats if you have all kinds of rules enabled or if you have rules for all the tactics in the MITRE table. There are 14 tables in MITRE, and those 14 tables consist of multiple columns, tactics, and techniques. It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table. On that basis, you can create new rules and identify existing ones. At any point, if an alert is triggered, it will try to match it to any of those MITRE tactics. I liked that creating a workbook on MITRE business was straightforward. I also like that you can search using SQL or DQL."

"The User Behavior Analytics is a built-in threat-hunting feature. It detects and reports on any kind of malware or ransomware that enters the network."

"The response time on queries is super-fast."

"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."

"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."

"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."

"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."

"NetWitness Platform offers flexibility for deployment and robust integration capabilities."

"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."

"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."

"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."

"The solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops... If this solution had a smart connector to these logs- Windows, Linux, or any other logs - without affecting the performance of the connector, that would be wonderful."

"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."

"The vendor is fairly new and it's not as big as some of the international competitors. It's not a mature product. If you ask them to move data, it might take a lot of time."

"The EBA could be improved."

"There are currently some issues with machine learning plug-ins."

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."

"I think DNIF HYPERCLOUD can implement the ability to export more than 100,000. At the moment, we can't go beyond that. So many times, if you're checking for the firewall logs and working on something related to authentication or network-related traffic, while that log count is low, the account goes beyond that. You can't restrict the logs or the amount of data you can export. It's very important for my situation. It would be better if they could increase the capacity of exports. Although there are many more types of searching in DNIF HYPERCLOUD, people still struggle to query out what they want because not everyone is good at SQL or DQL. The easiest way to query out in DNIF is using the GUI-based interface. But in the GUI interface, you can use operator calls. It gets tricky when you want to search for a specific type of event. You don't know where it will be passed and whether it will be consistent. In the initial phase, it's tough for us to use DNIF. You cannot pass every event in a stable DNIF. When we used that particular tool, we used to get those logs, but sometimes many things are not getting passed. So, we used to export the sheet or export the data into Excel and weigh the required details. In the next release, I would like them to improve the export of the columns and make the application more user-friendly. I would also like a threat-hunting feature in the next release."

"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."

"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."

"It is not so easy to customize this product."

"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."

"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."

"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."

"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."

"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."

"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."

"The solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."

"Price-wise, the product is quite economical. I rate the solution's price as three or four on a scale of one to ten, where one is considered to be a very economically priced tool."

"The pricing is based on the log size."

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."

"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."

"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."

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

"It is cheap."

"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."

"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."

"Our license is for one year."
