Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability
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 RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"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."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"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."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"The log correlation is good."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
 

Cons

"The licensing price could be better."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"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."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
"Threat detection could be better."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."
"The price of the solution could be better."
"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."
"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 highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."
"It is an expensive product."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"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."
