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.

Helps with Zero-day protection

We use the solution for Zero-day protection. The solution stops any kind of remote code execution. The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load. I have been using the product for a year. I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten. I would…

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."

"The log correlation is good."

"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."

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

"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."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

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

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

More NetWitness NDR pros

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons

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

"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 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 threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"It is an expensive product."

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

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

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

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
