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.

Helps with Zero-day protection

We use the solution for Zero-day protection. The solution stops any kind of remote code execution. The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load. I have been using the product for a year. I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten. I would…

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."

"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"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."

"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"The log correlation is good."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons

"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."

"Threat detection could be better."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."

"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"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."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is an expensive product."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."

"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."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"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."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
