We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."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 the hunting ability to work in a CERT."
"Offers a good wireless feature."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"Alerting Module: It provides real-time event processing language on all the logs/packets stream for advanced alerting, i.e., using SQL LIKE statements."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Health monitoring of the event sources and devices."
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
