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

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

"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."

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."

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

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

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

More NetWitness NDR pros

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

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

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

Cons

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"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 threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

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

"Threat detection could be better."

"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."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

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

More NetWitness NDR cons

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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 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."
