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.
AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"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 most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"It's easy to use."
"It also allows multifunctionality within a single platform."
"The solution is stable."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
 

Cons

"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."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"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."
"Threat detection could be better."
"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."
"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 solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"Although they have increased the complexity, it has affected the scanning speed."
"The product is not easy to use."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"Recently, Trellix has introduced a CDR, which involves more manual response than automatic. I believe they should enhance the system by adding features like automated response and the ability to create custom playbooks. This is crucial for an EDR solution, and currently, Trellix lacks this feature while other products offer it."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
"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."
"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 cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"It is an expensive product."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"It is reasonably priced."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compare to others and could be reduced. There are not any additional costs."
"Annual license fee is good"
"The tool is affordable"
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"It's fairly priced compared to other products on the market."
"McAfee's prices are flexible and can be quite competitive, although there are other solutions that are even more so."
