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.
Durai  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
I have worked with traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Sophos, and F-Secure. Broadcom acquired Symantec, and Trellix acquired McAfee. The market is disturbed as other solutions are acquiring the traditional leaders. Getting support is becoming a challenge. Carbon Black provides endpoint detection and response. CrowdStrike provides vulnerability assessment and application testing features. It gives additional threat prevention to the customer. So, I prefer CrowdStrike over Carbon Black. Carbon Black and CrowdStrike provide very good market strategies.
