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.

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard

In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

"The log correlation is good."

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

"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use. The dashboards are good. The reports are good. It is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."

Cons

"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 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 solution lacks a reporting engine."

"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."

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

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

"The contamination feature could be improved."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"There are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."

"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."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

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

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

"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."

"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."
