Development from open sources is very valuable but a huge infrastructure is required
The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used. The search configuration is a bit different than other OEMs or SIEM solutions like ArcSight or QRadar that are easy to search because they operate similarly. The logic is there and the solution supplies a pretty good explanation. Basically, DNIF spelled out is the opposite of FIND. You have to find commands whenever you want to search something. For example, a highway gets you to your destination but there is an alternate way people don't yet know about. Gartner or Forrester haven't yet studied it. We were a bit nervous when we were trying to get familiar with the solution. We wondered if we could realize ROI because the commands and ways of pulling data were different to us. We raised a case with the support team and their professionals provided the needed support. The command line is user friendly once you understand it. If you need immediate use, then you might want to get assistance from someone who is well-versed in methods for using key patterns to find things. Lengthier files for threat hunting or analysis are needed. The correlation happens, but exporting a large number of files to abstract them is not possible. For example, I want to present raw data to management so I should be able to customize a date range in my query and download the files.

A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has a great search capability."
"Great for scaling productivity for log monitoring purposes."
"The dashboard is helpful, and it creates visualizations to let staff review event data and identify patterns and anomalies."
"It was one of the first SIEM tools I saw that had that particular MITRE table."
"The benefit of DNIF was that the solution was able to detect any anomalies and identify and prevent any possible security threats or attacks."
"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."
"If you're an enterprise company and want to scale your productivity for log monitoring purposes, I found DNIF a better option than Splunk which has more complex software."
"DNIF is much faster, much more responsive, and far superior when compared to competitive tools."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"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."
"RSA NetWitness is a SIEM and real-time network traffic solution that collects logs and packets, applies a set of alerting, reporting, and analysis rules on them, and thus provides the enterprise with full visibility of the networks and activities of the systems."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
 

Cons

"I feel that DNIF needs to invest more in marketing, considering that it operates at a very competitive speed."
"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 solution should be able to connect to endpoints, such as desktops and laptops."
"The EBA could be improved."
"We have some issues with machine learning plug-ins and I believe they're working on a solution for that."
"The solution's command line should be simpler so that routine commands can be used."
"Dependency on the DNIF support team was frustrating."
"DNIF HYPERCLOUD is not a stable product compared to other tools like IBM QRadar."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The initial setup was complex because it took a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"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."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution requires a huge infrastructure and that is costly."
"The pricing is based on the log size."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"It is cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
