Really scalable for enterprise customers
The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms. The API is nearly open and scalable, so the solution can integrate with many platforms. The solution has more than 200 log sources in the scalability to support, but this is its limit. Installation is pretty easy. However, there are a couple of modules involved, so it is not as easy as it could be. We are talking about a distributed module, not a single-module type. This is what makes things a bit complex, instead of easier. I rate it as a seven out of ten on its installation and configuration capabilities.

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 is that we can create our own connectors for any application, and NetWitness provides the training and tools to do it."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable features are the threat prediction and network forensics."
"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"Security needs improvement."
"The documentation is not as structured as I would like, personally, and I think that it can be improved and made much more user-friendly."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"Our license is for one year."
"Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
"It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
"The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
