We performed a comparison between NetWitness Platform and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Wazuh, Datadog and others in Log Management."The development of use cases on the SSA console is quite user friendly. This means that the security analyst or the researcher does not have to learn another language."
"The product's initial setup phase was not at all difficult."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"It gives the capability for the incident response team to correlate logs to identify any kind of problem like malware and incidents in a general sense, both for logs and packets."
"Performance and reporting are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The most valuable features are its ingestion of logs and raising of alerts based on those logs."
"The most valuable features are the integration and ease of use."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The product is very stable."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"More customizability is required, which is something that they need to improve on."
"The tool's integration capability isn't so great."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Nowadays, their support is a little subpar compared to other solutions. I rate RSA support six out of 10."
"The multi-tenant capabilities are lagging compared to IBM QRadar."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
