Network detection enhances security while seamless integration boosts utility
I use Fortinet FortiNDR for its Network Detection features, primarily with FortiGate on-premises. However, I do not handle day-to-day operations myself; my team manages the tools. In general, there is no issue with FortiGate in our company Some of the valuable features include FortiGate's Network…

Reliable and good support but can be expensive
I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

"The solution is stable."
"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"We like the solution doesn't have to be managed by an IT department; it's easy to use and you can still check the machine without the IT department being involved."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"NetWitness Endpoint has enabled us to detect attacks that bypass the first stage of cybersecurity, like zero-day and advanced attacks."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in third-party integrations, particularly with other vendors like Check Point and Palo Alto."
"I would like to see the inclusion of sandboxing in the bundling. Currently, sandbox is not included in our package."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The solution doesn't have a reporting engine which would be helpful."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"The problem with this product is that it's a bit slow."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"RSA NetWitness Endpoint is a scalable solution. However, the problem which we normally face is in terms of the migration of the solution."
"The contamination feature could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."
"It is an expensive product."
"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."
"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."
"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."
"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."
