Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder.""I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution.""Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network""The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics.""The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language.""Performance and reporting are very good.""Offers a good wireless feature.""It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."

More NetWitness Platform Pros →

"It is stable and reliable.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""It is very scalable."

Cons
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified.""I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial.""We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes.""The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved.""Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support.""Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance.""They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams.""The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."
