Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The most valuable feature is the option to edit the inbound security."
"They have customized security rules, mature rules, anti-virus protection, as well as email authentication similar to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC."
"The anti-spam features are excellent on the email firewalls."
"The tool has improved our workflow by ensuring people receive only the emails they need for work rather than being inundated with hundreds or thousands of unnecessary emails daily."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The setup was easy."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is the best solution from the perspective of email security."
"I like all the features with Proofpoint, such as how it filters the spam and marketing mail, lost reality mail, blocks phishing attacks, blocks malicious attachments, and stops phishing links. Also it can defend against the business email compromise impersonation technique. It is a complete solution for all email attacks. It filters for the bad, malicious attachments. If there is any executable file, it can be deleted. It is a good, complete solution."
"They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"The implementation needs assistance."
"It is not so easy to customize this product."
"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."
"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."
"It has too many screens. It is kind of a conglomeration of products. In other words, they built product A, product B, and product C, and they are yet to integrate them into a single administrative console. I would certainly like to see a more seamless administrative interface. I would also like to see them include more bang for the buck, by including features like email fraud protection, rather than making their product so piecemeal, where you are buying little pieces. I agree with the idea of having multiple tiers or layers, but maybe as small, medium, and large, as opposed to an a la carte menu."
"Integration for reporting needs to be improved, it's too complex."
"Unfortunately, the whole product is going downhill right now, ever since they were sold to Thoma Bravo. We're constantly having problems with stability and the product in general."
"The solution should add post-sales training."
"The Secure Mail aspect should have an Outlook add-in, instead of an external dashboard that outside users have to access."
"We'd like to have the ability to create more customized reports."
"Proofpoint Email Protection is an expensive solution."
"The reporting section could be enhanced. I like some reports but if they could allow us to create custom reports with more flexibility it would enhance the reports more."
