Beneficial single unified dashboard, good native application integration, and high availability

My advice to those wanting to implement RSA NetWitness Network is they have to first do a little due diligence, such as the exact requirement based on their needs. That will give them a direction for their investment because otherwise, the bill of material or bill of quantity (BOQ) may be higher side. It is important to do good due intelligence on the environment, see the exact requirement, and then go ahead with the solution. The solution is perfectly stable. I rate RSA NetWitness Network a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Flowmon is more easy to understand and helps find network issues more quickly."

"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."

"The solution is stable."

"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Network is the single unified dashboard from which you can manage all the different products of RSA. Additionally, the integration with native applications is good."

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."

Cons

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

"The licensing price could be better."

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."

"I do not know the detailed pricing."

"Threat detection could be better."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."

"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."

"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."

"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."

"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."

"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It works with a permanent license, and then you can pay for the support. For the gold support, you need to pay yearly."

"The licensing fee accrues only once, but that of support is annual."

"The price of the solution could be better."

"With RSA, there is flexibility in choosing the service, products, and the range that meets your requirement, as well as they are flexible in terms of pricing."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"It is an expensive product."

"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

"The pricing is not very economical. It is a quite costly product for India. One thing is that when you purchase it, you have to purchase a module separately."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."
