Reliable and good support but can be expensive

I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"I do not know the detailed pricing."

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"The price of the license could be lower."

"The licensing price could be better."

"One of the drawbacks of using this product is that when you deploy, you have to create MSI files."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could be better."

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

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

"It is an expensive product."
