Offers good monitoring features but needs to improve the support services offered
The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux. The XDR and licensing parts of the tool are also areas of concern where improvements are required. XDR is for extensive detection and range of response. Jamf relies on signature-based access. If it is a known signature that just protects our devices, it is a kind of threat isolation. The tool does have behavioral analysis, but as the severity becomes less, the system gets loaded. It is not the same with CrowdStrike as it has a variety of strategies and is a fully cloud-native tool, which helps it to make sure it is a leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant. CrowdStrike goes with its set of practicalities. The kind of threat intelligence CrowdStrike follows is really expensive. With CrowdStrike, we can see which factors have been targeted in our organization. If we know our enemy, then it becomes so easy to cover up with the defense mechanism. The features in CrowdStrike get lagged when used with Jamf Protect. With Jamf Protect, there is a need to improve the security it offers.

Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability
My advice to those wanting to implement RSA NetWitness Network is they have to first do a little due diligence, such as the exact requirement based on their needs. That will give them a direction for their investment because otherwise, the bill of material or bill of quantity (BOQ) may be higher side. It is important to do good due intelligence on the environment, see the exact requirement, and then go ahead with the solution. The solution is perfectly stable. I rate RSA NetWitness Network a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"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."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
 

Cons

"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"The product is not an averagely priced tool."
"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"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."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"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."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"It is an expensive product."
