We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Palo Alto Networks WildFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's fully scalable. There is no limit. Of course, the license limits per day the number of terabytes. In my opinion, it's very flexible."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"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."
"What we are mainly using are the RSA concentrator, RSA Decoder, Archiver, Broker, and Log Decoder."
"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 features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"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."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"The most valuable feature is the improved security that it offers."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"It catches modified signatures of known viruses."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"Scalable ATP solution that's quick to set up. It demonstrates good performance and stability."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"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."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"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."
"The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The data analytical system for deployment needs to improve."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
