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 the security that it provides."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"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."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
 

Cons

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions. Whenever any hacking activity or any other threat factor occurred they used to provide the coverages very fast when comparing RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets. I heard the other three solutions, from a discussion with my team members who had experience in other solutions, they used to say that. Whenever any issues happened across the globe RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are a little bit slow improving those detection mechanisms."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"Technical support could be improved."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets do not have a subscription model, it's a one-time purchase. There is only a perpetual license."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"Our license is for one year."
"Compared to the competition, the is price is not that high."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for the use of the solution."
"It is cheap."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
"The tool is expensive."
