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."
"Integration is exceedingly minimal, since its project development is much easier than that of LogRythm or IBM."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"Overall, I feel that the product is very good and my biggest complaint is about their support."
"Thanks to this tool, we have a small SOC running in our company."
"The solution is reliable."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"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."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"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."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The initial setup was complex because it took a lot of time to complete the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is cheap."
"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 have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"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."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
