Reliable and good support but can be expensive

I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

"I would recommend others to use RSA NetWitness Endpoint at this time because they have evolved from an MD to an EDR solution to an XDR solution."

"The solution is stable."

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

"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."

Cons

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."

"The licensing price could be better."

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP."

"I do not know the detailed pricing."

"The price of the license could be lower."

"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."

"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."

"The problem with this product is that it's a bit slow."

"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."

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

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill, then the setup is good and smooth."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."

"The price of the solution could be better."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"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."

"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."
