We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Palo Alto Networks VM-Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"The VM-Series scalability is fast and easy to implement, improving our security posture as our Azure network grows."
"It scales linearly with load and no issues."
"The product provides more visibility into our traffic."
"In terms of security breaches, the product aids in categorizing and monitoring traffic, allowing for the identification of potentially malicisous or incorrectly formatted applications."
"App-ID and User-ID have repeatedly shown value in securing business critical systems."
"The technical support for the solution is very good."
"AWS has improved our agility to apply firewall rules. It has reduced the amount of time that it takes to apply firewall rules because everything is based in the cloud."
"The most valuable features are web control and IPS/IDS."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"We have ran into issues with Palo Alto’s limitations for resolving large IP lists from DNS lookups, as well as the antivirus interfering with App-ID."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the endpoints and the firewalls."
"Integrative capabilities with other solutions should be addressed."
"We have run into some issues with scaling and limitations associated with some of the configurations."
"The web interface is very slow, and it needs to be faster."
"The solution needs to improve its visibility. It's not straightforward to use. Understanding the policies, authorizations, and initializing features requires careful review. The product needs to offer proper training."
"There's room for improvement in terms of integration with the load balancer. It isn't like Fortinet, which has a load balancer built into its firewall. It is effortless to integrate within the load balancer-plus-firewall solution."
"The product could be better in terms of performance than one of its competitors."
