Pros
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer.""The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator.""The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud.""The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools.""The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping.""The most valuable feature is the security that it provides.""The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly.

Cons
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis.""The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly.""The tool's integration capability isn't so great.""I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial.""The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too.""The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved.""The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement.""An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution.""Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time.""The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time.""Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything.""Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."
