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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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 is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"The log correlation is good."

"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."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"Speed"

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"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."

"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."

"Threat detection could be better."

"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"Reporting system could be improved."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."

"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."

"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."

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

"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."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

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

"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."

More NetWitness NDR pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
