Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing.""Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements.""The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer.""The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it.""The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT.""It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market.""Offers a good wireless feature.""The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."

"Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""It is stable and reliable.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""It is very scalable.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."

Cons
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together.""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 takes a lot of time to complete the implementation.""An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases.""Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine.""The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement.""The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms.""Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."

  • "The product is expensive, but it is better than the rest of them in the industry."
