MOTASHIM Al Razi - PeerSpot reviewer
It is a stable solution, but they should make the user interface easier to understand
The solution's initial setup takes work. We have to organize multiple paths and many features. The deployment process takes less than a week. But it takes a month to complete if we want to make the solution smarter by integrating it with various devices. I rate the process as a six out of ten.
TamimKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization options need improvement but valuable threat management features and reasonable pricing benefit service providers
We are a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), and we provide services to our customers Seceon Open Threat Management Platform offers valuable features such as XDR and EDR. I also find the SOC and SOAR features valuable. Log management is another key functionality of the product. There are…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."
"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The most valuable features are behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, endpoint detection, and response features."
"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."
"The pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."
"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"Security needs improvement."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The management console could use some enhancements."
"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"The product should improve the triggering rate."
"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"The product is expensive."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Our license is for one year."
"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."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"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."
"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."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"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."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"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."
