Dynamic file analysis enhances threat detection capabilities
Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware. The system analyzes files dynamically and provides feedback on the impact of the file. Cloud sandbox manages the analysis using Hillstone on the cloud, offering a service to detect unknown threats. It's easy to integrate and offers dynamic analysis supporting many types of 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

"Cloud sandbox allows customers to analyze email and text documents without purchasing any hardware."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"Stability has not been an issue with this product."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"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."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"Its technical support could be better."
"It is overly complicated. It has taken years to implement and the return on investment just isn't there."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"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 initial setup was complex because it took a lot of time to complete the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"Our license is for one year."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
"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."
