We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 most valuable feature is the correlation. It can report in real-time and monitor the management.""It's quite economical compared to other solutions in the market.""Performance and reporting are very good.""The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs.""Setting up NetWitness is straightforward. There are multiple connectors, including standard and specialized connectors. One purpose of the connectors is the enhanced capability integrate the custom applications. NetWitness comes with E6 appliances and application images that we use for the initial configurations and for the OS stack information. From there, you can consider the correlation rules, integrate the different log sources, and easily create correlation rules and backlog reports.""The most valuable features are the packet decoder, log decoder, and concentrator.""Incident management is its most valuable feature."

"Application categorization is the most valuable feature for us. Application filtering is very interesting because other products don't give you full application filtering capabilities.""The sandbox feature of FireEye Network Security is very good. The operating system itself has many features and it supports our design.""The most valuable feature is the view into the application.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from how it allows users to do the investigation part. Another important part of the product that is valuable is associated with how it gives information to users in the form of a storyline.""Over the thirteen years of using the product, we have not experienced a single compromise in our environment. During the COVID period, we faced numerous DDoS attacks, and the tool proved highly effective in mitigating these threats.""I also like its logging method. Its logging is very powerful and useful for forensic purposes. You can see the traffic or a specific activity or how something entered your network and where it went.""The scalability has not been a problem. We have deployed the product in very high bandwidth networks. We have never had a problem with the FireEye product causing latency issues within our networks.""The features that I find most valuable are the MIR (Mandiant Incident Response) for checks on our inbound security."

Cons
"The initial setup is complex. There are other solutions that are easier to implement.""The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar.""They should implement algorithms to digest that data and produce additional, more advanced reporting, alerting and support of internal security teams.""If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis.""There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams.""The system looks like it is a mix of a bunch of different systems, and nothing looked like it was quite together.""The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement.""Log aggregation is an issue with this solution because there are a huge number of alerts in a single instance."

More NetWitness Platform Cons →

"It would be a good idea if we could get an option to block based upon the content of an email, or the content of a file attachment.""It is not a very secure product.""The world is currently shifting to AI, but FIreEye is not following suit.""Cybersecurity posture has room for improvement.""It would be very helpful if there were better integration with other solutions from other vendors, such as Fortinet and Palo Alto.""The problem with FireEye is that they don't allow VM or sandbox customization. The user doesn't have control of the VMs that are inside the box. It comes from the vendor as-is. Some users like to have control of it. Like what type of Windows and what type of applications and they have zero control over this.""If you want to search the hashes in the environment, you need to put in IOCs one by one, making it a very hectic job.""As far as future inclusions, it would be useful to display more threat intelligence, such as the actual area of the threat and the origin of the web crawling (Tor and Dark Web)."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It’s cheaper to run virtual machines in a VMware environment."
  • "The new pricing and licensing mechanisms are fair. I would advise always to get the full solution (i.e., not only Logs)."
  • "It is cheap."
  • "The licenses are good but the cost is very expensive."
  • "This is a pricey solution; it's not cheap."
  • "We have a perpetual license, so the total cost of ownership is not very expensive. It's a good investment."
  • "Many clients are not able to purchase the packet capability because there is a huge amount of data, and the cost depends on the number of EPS (Events per second), as well as the number of gigabytes of data per day."
  • "Our license is for one year."
  • More NetWitness Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing and licensing are reasonable compared to competitors."
  • "The pricing is a little high."
  • "Because of what the FireEye product does, it has significantly decreased our mean time in being able to identify and detect malicious threats. The company that I work with is a very mature organization, and we have seen the meantime to analysis decrease by at least tenfold."
  • "There are some additional services that I understand the vendor provides, but our approach was to package all of the features that we were looking to use into the product."
  • "We're partners with Cisco so we get a reasonable price. It's cheaper than Palo Alto in terms of licensing."
  • "FireEye is comparable to other products, such as HX, but seems expensive. It may cause us to look at other products in the market."
  • "When I compare this solution to its competitors in the market, I find that it is a little expensive."
  • "The user fee is not as high but the maintenance fee is expensive."
