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.

Continuous network insight has improved early threat detection and streamlined investigations
Overall, we have a positive experience with Trellix Network Detection and Response, but like any enterprise security solution, there are areas where it can continue to improve. One area would be user interface and dashboard customization. While the platform provides a lot of valuable information, new users can sometimes face a learning curve when navigating and investigating and creating customized views. More intuitive dashboards would simplify workflows and help analysts access critical information even faster. Another area for improvement is reporting and analytics. The existing reporting capabilities are useful, but more flexibility and customizable reporting options would make it easier to generate executive-level summaries, compliance reports, and operational metrics for different audiences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication and then being able to investigate based on that, where you can see the payload and deconstruct the packets."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"RSA NetWitness is a SIEM and real-time network traffic solution that collects logs and packets, applies a set of alerting, reporting, and analysis rules on them, and thus provides the enterprise with full visibility of the networks and activities of the systems."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"Their customer service is excellent, one of the best."
"The most valuable feature is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"Support is very helpful and responsive."
"The simplified Alert Dashboard is straightforward to navigate."
"After all of our testing was conducted we felt confident that this was the right approach to safeguard the bank from advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks."
"The real-time alerts from Trellix Network Detection and Response reduced our average incident detection time from several hours to under thirty minutes, allowing the team to contain threats much faster."
"There are sandbox capabilities; you can submit malicious files and get great feedback, including if there is malware and what it is doing, and it can give you simulations in different operating systems and applications to provide real insights from the perspective of a real environment."
"Before FireEye, most of the times that an incident would happen nobody would be able to find out where or why the incident occurred and that the system is compromised. FireEye is a better product because if the incident already happened I know that the breach is there and that the system is compromised so we can take appropriate action to prevent anything from happening."
"The product has helped improve our organization by being easy to use and integrate. This saves time, trouble and money."
"Anyone who is looking for a complete network protection solution and does not have any budget issues should definitely go for it."
 

Cons

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."
"One thing to be improved in NetWitness is the capability to correlate event logs in a general sense."
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto."
"Improvement-wise, the initial setup, fine-tuning, and learning can take effort."
"I believe Trellix Network Detection and Response can be improved by integrating machine learning into its detection response capabilities."
"The support from FireEye Network Security is not very good."
"Based on what we deployed, they should emphasize the application filtering and the web center. We need to look deeper into the SSM inspection. If we get the full solution with that module, we don't need to get the SSM database from another supplier."
"A lot of false positives."
"Trellix Network Detection and Response is stable but occasionally encounters performance issues, which we can fix quickly."
"The analytics could be better. It seems heavily influenced by the McAfee and FireEye integration, and that integration still isn't seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In comparison to other SIEM solutions such as Splunk, NetWitness is less costly."
"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 have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"It is cheap."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The pricing is fair, a little expensive, but fair. We've evaluated other products, and they're similarly priced."
"The tool is a bit pricey."
"The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
"We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
"Its price is a bit high. A small customer cannot buy it. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"It's an expensive solution."
"When you purchase FireEye Network Security NX, will need to purchase a megabit per second package. You must know your needs from day one."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
