A solid SIEM solution that should improve technical support and online resources to be easier to use
A big problem with the product is that we don't have much professional experience in Israel installing, implementing, and integrating this product. There is not enough of a knowledge base. There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams. We like to work locally because of the language, and when the product is only supported outside the country, it's a little difficult to implement and use this product. Moreover, AI is something that must be added immediately. Artificial intelligence is a part of the competitors' products, and it's not been implemented for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is reliable."
"Overall, it is easy to implement."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"Possibility to investigate incidents based on logs and raw packets, such as extracting files sent over the network"
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"Technically speaking, this is a good product."
"NetWitness Platform is valuable for creating rules that the solution must detect."
"Integration is exceedingly minimal, since its project development is much easier than that of LogRythm or IBM."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
 

Cons

"I believe they could improve their support, there are often delays."
"I am not happy with the RSA support. Sometimes they can be really annoying because it takes so long to get the support that you need."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"I believe that integrating the solution with other products such as Oracle would be beneficial."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"I cannot say that the solution was stable because it tended to crash."
"Cross Platform Integration could be improved."
"RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets can improve the threat level aspect, it is lacking compared to other solutions."
"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product price was reasonable for my region and the market."
"We have yearly licensing costs. The license fee can be based on the volume of EPS. Some organizations may have, as a gentlemanly gesture, 10,000 EPS and get a 3,000 EPS license but actually use 5,000 EPS."
"Our license is for one year."
"The tool is very expensive, so I rate the pricing a ten out of ten. The solution has an annual subscription."
"It provides tools to assist in selecting the appropriate license and usage scenarios."
"The product is expensive."
"There is a licensing fee and the customer can choose whether he wishes this to be subscription-based or perpetual."
"The NetWitness Platform may be affordable only for enterprise-level customers, as it may not be within the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
