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.
AS
Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities
The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX ( /products/zerofox-reviews ) portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

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."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"The log correlation is good."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."
"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."
"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."
"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."
"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."
 

Cons

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"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."
"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 contamination feature could be improved."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"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."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."
"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."
"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"It is an expensive product."
