Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 8, 2024

NetWitness NDR and LogRhythm UEBA compete in cyber threat detection capabilities. LogRhythm UEBA appears to have the upper hand due to its depth in behavioral analytics and user-friendly features.

Features: NetWitness NDR excels at comprehensive threat detection and network monitoring, providing precise network traffic analysis. It offers in-depth network insights. LogRhythm UEBA is notable for its behavioral analytics, detecting insider threats and anomalies with advanced machine learning capabilities. It gives users detailed threat context and is effective at behavior-based detection.

Room for Improvement: NetWitness NDR could improve with a more intuitive configuration process, as its settings are complex. Its user setup needs enhancements. LogRhythm UEBA should focus on more streamlined reporting features and would benefit from enhancements in its reporting capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Deployment of NetWitness NDR is often cumbersome due to extensive configuration, though customer service is responsive. LogRhythm UEBA has a straightforward deployment process but needs to improve support responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: NetWitness NDR is cost-effective regarding long-term ROI, justifying its setup cost with deep insights. LogRhythm UEBA, initially pricier, provides substantial ROI through effective behavior analytics. Both products have unique strengths in pricing and ROI benefits.

Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved

The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.

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 solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."

"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."

"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."

"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."

"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."

"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."

"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."

"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."

More LogRhythm UEBA pros

"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."

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

"The log correlation is good."

"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."

"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."

More NetWitness NDR pros

Cons

"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."

"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."

"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."

"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."

"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."

"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."

"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."

"The search feature needs to be improved."

More LogRhythm UEBA cons

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

"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."

"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."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."

"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."

"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

"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."
