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.

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard

In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The log correlation is good."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

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

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."

"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use. The dashboards are good. The reports are good. It is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."

Cons

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

"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

"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."

"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 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."

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

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"There are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up."

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."

"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."

"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."

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

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