Reliable and good support but can be expensive

I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

More NetWitness NDR pros

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

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

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

Cons

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

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

"The contamination feature could be improved."

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

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."

"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."

"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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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