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 development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"Incident management is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The product is very stable."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
"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."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
