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."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"Their customer service is excellent, one of the best."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation, as it can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly, which means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"Integration is exceedingly minimal, since its project development is much easier than that of LogRythm or IBM."
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"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."
"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."
"The product continues to crash. Even with tech support help, it does not resolve itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
