Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"It hasn't really improved our direct detection rate but it has definitely reduced our incident response time as we wouldn't have been able to detect threats or immediate risks without this solution."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
