Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.0
Implementing NetWitness NDR enhances security, improves network visibility, reduces costs, and boosts efficiency and productivity for businesses.
Sentiment score
8.9
Vulcan Cyber significantly reduces time and resource usage, enabling quicker task completion and faster inter-team notifications.
With our vulnerability management platform, I used to get reports weekly, but with Vulcan Cyber, I get them daily.
Our security team probably spends 15 minutes instead of two hours daily notifying the teams.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.3
NetWitness NDR's customer service is generally efficient and highly regarded, though some users report occasional slow response times.
Sentiment score
6.5
Vulcan Cyber offers responsive support with good communication, but faces challenges in latency, integration delays, and feature request visibility.
We do not necessarily have visibility of when those feature requests are going into the development pipeline.
It would enhance my experience if Vulcan informed customers of forthcoming maintenance or changes that might cause website downtime.
Their technical support team is very good, knowledgeable, and helpful.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
NetWitness NDR is scalable for large enterprises, though some users report issues with scalability and agent migration.
Sentiment score
7.6
Vulcan Cyber efficiently scales with diverse environments, integrating multiple data sources, handling high volumes, and earning positive ratings.
We have a lot of assets under management, and it effectively scales up to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of assets.
I'd rate the scalability ten out of ten.
I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability, as integration with multiple connectors is possible without exceeding licensing limits.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
NetWitness NDR is generally reliable, providing real-time data and stability, though minor technical issues are occasionally reported.
Sentiment score
7.0
Vulcan Cyber is generally stable, scoring high on stability, with minor UI issues and occasional communication lapses.
It would be better if Vulcan notified me, the customer, about upcoming maintenance or changes, indicating when the website might be down.
The product's stability is commendable, with no noticeable lags or slowness.
I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of stability.
 

Room For Improvement

NetWitness NDR requires improvements in UI, scalability, detectability, integration, session times, pricing, training, and features, making it complex and slow.
Vulcan Cyber users seek improved connectors, performance, simplified UI, better integration, enhanced reporting, and more effective data management.
It would be beneficial if the platform allowed remote access to devices for immediate remedies.
Providing real-world examples of how to construct a ticket format for Jira, Azure DevOps, or ServiceNow with specific examples would help us understand how it might work in our environment.
Having it more customized or providing more customization options for me would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Vulcan Cyber is affordably priced but lacks some features, leading to cost-effectiveness questions despite competitive enterprise appeal.
For our use case, the solution is lacking some features, and the cost savings don't make it worth it.
 

Valuable Features

NetWitness NDR offers high detection rates, real-time malware response, third-party integration, and a user-friendly, interoperable interface with advanced analytics.
Vulcan Cyber integrates data for comprehensive risk insights, offering intuitive interfaces, customization, and efficient vulnerability management with strong support.
It offers a comprehensive view of the assets and their associated vulnerabilities, which aids in assessing and mitigating threats.
The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them.
Instead of having 100 vulnerabilities and not knowing how to prioritize and assign all your FTEs there, you now have only ten that you know you need to fix, and you're assigning the right number of FTEs.

SupravatMaji - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.
