Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult.""It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market.""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.""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.""The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud.""The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response.""Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable.""Performance and reporting are very good."

"I recommend this solution because of its ease of use.""The most valuable features are the administration console and its detection and response module.""Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.""It is stable and reliable.""It is very scalable.""It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business.""Provides good exfiltration, and is an all-in-one product."

Cons
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10.""It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform.""The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms.""Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine.""Its technical support could be better.""The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement.""The tool's integration capability isn't so great.""An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"This solution needs to be made "cloud ready".""We'd like them to be better at dealing with script threats.""Lacks remote capabilities not dependent on the internet.""There could be a tool that automatically updates all-new Microsoft IPs, which are available for free to connect to the client.""I would like to see future versions of the solution incorporate artificial intelligence technology.""Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version.""The initial setup was industry standard complex. It takes awhile and has a lot of planning involved. It could be simplified with product redesign."

  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "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."
  • "Our license is for one year."
