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.

A tool that offers good UI and documentation

Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

More NetWitness NDR pros

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."

"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable.

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"Threat detection could be better."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

"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."

"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."

"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

More OpenText Core Endpoint Protection cons

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."

"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 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."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"It is an expensive product."

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

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

More NetWitness NDR pricing and cost advice

"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Work on a price tier plan."

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
