Featured Reviews

FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.
SupravatMaji - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The advanced detection features are valuable."
"The tool is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features."
"Kaspersky EDR is far superior to other products. It gives detailed information about malware, geolocation, and more. Also, the agent itself is very lightweight compared to other products. The packages and updates were quite small in size, just a few KBs."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is their ability to detect and respond to spam and viruses in their early stages."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"The log correlation is good."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
 

Cons

"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is expensive. It should improve its stability."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"The main issue was compatibility with the cloud itself. The CPU usage immediately spiked, causing the machines to hang and sometimes even forcing server or computer restarts."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."
"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training."
"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."
"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."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"The tool's pricing was high during the last renewal."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"The product is cheap."
"It is an expensive product."
"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."
"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."
"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 highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

Cortex is better in the security features, yet Cortex doesn't have IT management features like Kaspersky. Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time.
