Protects against threats and handles it in time with moderate pricing
Mostly, Lumu is an automatic tool. We'll deploy on firewalls and DNS servers. Lumu detects every attack on our network. The other day, we had CLC, the command controller, and the tool reacted automatically. It detected the attack and immediately blocked it without intervention from my team. The improvement is in the security process, as it's now entirely automated. We no longer require a technician or engineer to monitor our network 24/7. Lumu updates with AI and global threat intelligence, which greatly assists us. Since our workload is lighter, Lumu handles all of our tasks. We're using FortiGate for the firewall and Kaspersky for endpoints. If you are going to Lumu, you need another solution for the endpoint. You need to integrate with other tools like firewalls or another antivirus. I recommend the solution based on the price, usability, and service offered by the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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

"It's been helpful for overall extended network visibility."
"The context provided by the tool is very complete, it includes the miter matrix, playbooks, links, hashes, and much more."
"The tool's support team helps partners resolve any problems with the product."
"You can access external links, playbooks, MITRE Matrix, and a lot of information."
"I like Lumu's simple user interface. When we deployed it, we got full access, allowing us to identify IP addresses on the network and connect machine names to users. It helped us identify and block threats via the firewall. I also appreciate the chat support and ticket closure process. We're currently reviewing network detection solutions, and my recommendations include Lumu, Sentinel, and a few others. Regarding functionality and user-friendliness, I would recommend Lumu over the others."
"Most of it is automated, so I do not have to watch it to get alerts."
"Lumu protects against threats immediately and handles them in time."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"The log correlation is good."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
"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."
"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
 

Cons

"Lumu's ability to discover threats is an area of concern where improvements are needed."
"The integration with different vendors and endpoints could be improved."
"The free version is minimal compared to the full version."
"It would be good if we could access the physical logs."
"Nothing so far needs to be improved."
"The reports need improvement."
"I am happy with the current features. However, one important one is to improve the reports."
"Threat detection could be better."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"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."
"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to Lumu, other solutions are more expensive. SentinelOne was a bit cheaper, and another provider's price structure is unclear, but Lumu fit our budget nicely. SentinelOne's cost depends on the number of devices, and it might be similar to Lumu's, depending on deployment."
"It is the cheapest solution we found."
"The tool is available at a good price. The tool offers a good and competitive price for customers."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"It is an expensive product."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
"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."
"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."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"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."
