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."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"Packet Solution: Allows analyst proactive hunting and alerting on daily sophisticated APTs."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation, as it can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"It gives customers visibility about their most important servers and devices."
"This solution has a very good dashboard with a separate tab for incidents and alerts."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"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."
 

Cons

"For implementation, if the system can improve or provide more training, it would be better."
"The solution is pretty complex to set up. Comparatively, I have worked on IBM QRadar and Splunk; they are much easier to set up."
"We encountered stability issues in the earlier versions, and much fewer in the newer versions."
"The product continues to crash. Even with tech support help, it does not resolve itself."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"I am not happy with the RSA support. Sometimes they can be really annoying because it takes so long to get the support that you need."
"But the 11.3 version is a complete disaster. You cannot analyze anything."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
