"The most valuable feature is the hunting ability to work in a CERT."

"The product has a user-friendly interface and a valuable feature for threat intelligence integration."
"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 great advantage in using this product is it creates multiple services."
"They manage to solve detection quite nicely. There is some rather elaborate detection compared to other providers."

"All of the solution's features are quite valuable for us. We especially like the threat protection it provides."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Currently we have 800-plus nodes connected with this solution, without any issues. The solution is scalable."
"Technical support is very responsive. You just have to open a ticket. They respond in a timely manner. Their response is good. I'm satisfied."

"Security needs improvement."
"Technical support could be improved."

"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"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."
"I'd like to see improvement in its ease of use. It's basically unusable. It's overly complex."
"The solution should have more integration capabilities with different platforms."
"There are some features that would add value to this product. One of them would be a graphical presentation of threats that the system has encountered."
"The administration interface needs a lot of improvement. It should be UI based, and simple. They need to improve it. It's pretty much not that friendly compared to what we were using as Bitdefender before. It's okay but is improving, actually."
"There are limits with respect to blocking files by hash value or blocking IP addresses, and these limits should be removed."
"It's a strange situation where the infrastructure of the consumer or customer is behind some kind of firewall and they have always used some kind of customized proxy. In this situation, the ATP has a very tough time to pass the information to the cloud and back. To fix, it requires a more elaborate and complex configuration for that particular case."
"Entire threat protection is not available for the advanced features."
"Not ideal for advanced threat protection."
"The security features need to be improved."
"Scalability could be better."
