We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market.""The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT.""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.""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 integration and ease of use.""The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer.""It gives the ability to investigate into network traffic in the Net and the organization what we couldn't do before.""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."

"McAfee as a whole is a good solution.""The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure.""It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved.""The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller.""The most valuable feature for us is that it comes with many correlations, reports, and dashboards already available. It's also very easy to use.""The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it.""Trellix ESM is very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature in ESM is its search and reporting feature. It's really nice."

Cons
"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.""Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10.""Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance.""The user interface is a little bit difficult for new users and it needs to be improved.""They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams.""The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar.""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.""It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"There should be support for multitenancy in the product.""I would like to see good analytics in future releases.""The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing.""The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed.""Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution.""The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure.""Product-wise, adding accounts on a single data source by batch would be a really great help.""The initial setup is difficult and could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More NetWitness Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
  • "We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
  • "The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
  • "The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
  • "We renew our license annually."
  • "McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
  • "The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
