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

"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports."
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"We have encountered issues with unresolved crashes."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"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."
"It is cheap."
"Our license is for one year."
"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."
