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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."

"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."

"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."

Cons

"The contamination feature could be improved."

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

"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."

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

"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 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."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."

"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."

"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"It is an expensive 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 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."

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

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