Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"StealthWatch lets me see the ports running in and out and the country. It has excellent reporting, telemetry, and artificial intelligence features. With the telemetry, I can set thresholds to detect sudden changes and the alarms go through the PLC parts. I can see all the ports running on that trunk."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"Whole team can use the firewall and understand it."
"We get support in the free version."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"I would like to see better filters."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"Many years back an update caused an issue with the firewall. However, Palo Alto not only informed us of said issue, they also sent an update that fixed the issue before I even had time to log in to determine if the issue affected our services."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"There are certain changes that I was expecting in the previous version, and I hope that they are soon fixed. All of the problems that I have faced so far have been resolved."
