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.

Easy to deploy, good price, low overhead, and keeps our Servers and PC's free of virus'

Their management interface is a little buggy as it will hang up and crash from time to time. Although It requires more system resources than the desktop client, adding additional resources' ex. CPU and Memory don't seem to improve it. Its reporting can also be improved as the executive and patching reports are missing the ability to provide what groups of PC's are included in the reports. Also, It's great they patch some third-party software, but it is a limited list expanding this would be a huge improvement. I'm yet to see it properly handle USB Device control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"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."

"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."

More NetWitness NDR pros

"In general, it was pretty easy to manage."

"It has low overhead as far as machine resources are concerned. Everything runs faster with VIPRE installed versus some of the competitors. It has also been pretty easy to use. It just runs and gives us reports. It also sends us alerts when there is something that we need to look at. It does its job, and you just look at the reports. In other ways, you just forget that it is there."

Cons

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"The solution lacks a reporting engine."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"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."

"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."

"Threat detection could be better."

More NetWitness NDR cons

"We would get a lot of false positives and instead of them fixing the false positive, they would just want us to put in an exception, which I didn't care for."

"Their management interface is a little buggy. It requires a few system resources on the management interface. Its reporting can also be better. Overall, the reports are pretty good. They patch some third-party software, but if they can expand what they do for reporting and patch enterprise software, it would be handy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"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."

"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."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

"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."

"It is an expensive product."

"Its price point has been phenomenal. Our previous solution from Trend Micro was triple the cost of it."
