Helps to deal with potential attacks and is available at a reasonable price
My company has had many benefits from the use of the product in the last eight years. The tool has streamlined our company's incident response process since it serves as a log repository, which allows us to correlate events and access different technology stacks. In our company, we were able to actually find some potential attacks, so it has been very helpful. The tool's integration capability isn't so great. In my company, we managed to integrate it with our Microsoft Azure Subscription, after which we managed to integrate it with other tools. You will face a lot of difficulties if you want to integrate it with your database monitoring tool, PAM solutions, or IAM products. The product has done well overall for my company's teams to deal with their workflow efficiency. I would not recommend the product to others. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Once it is deployed and you are used to it, you can do whatever you want."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"Since the solution has been under way we have seen a large decrease of threats and proactive reactions to incidents."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"The pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."
"If we compare the solution with other SIEM solutions that are also turning to artificial intelligence, this will be the number one choice."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
 

Cons

"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"Its technical support could be better."
"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
"Security needs improvement. We would still like to know how the traffic is entering the organization."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"It is overly complicated. It has taken years to implement and the return on investment just isn't there."
"The dashboard has always been an issue."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions."
"It would be ideal with the processing was more manageable."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"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."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
