We performed a comparison between Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cisco Security Portfolio solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's easy to handle. You can have it on Windows, Linux or Mac, that's quite useful."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is very stable."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution has good performance. It is a simple tool to use, once I turn on Windows it automatically starts to use the VPN."
"It is an easy system to set up."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"Provides easily identifiable anomalies that you can't see with signature detections."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"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."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"I think, in general, most of the applications are slow, but this is everyday stuff. I think this is more related to the link speed — the links, the lossage, etc."
"Even when your internet speed is good, once you connect to the VPN the speed gets automatically reduced, which is worrisome."
"There are some issues with connectivity and latency that should be improved."
"The solution should not rely on tokens from the mobile application for logins."
"The security of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"One improvement could be ensuring better backward compatibility."
"The deployment of the agent software for the final customer could be simpler and more helpful."
"The notifications need to be improved. If the VPN is disconnected for a long period of time, they should push out notifications. We need to manually check if the VPN is connected or not. Sometimes it automatically disconnects, but the user doesn't get notifications, and we need to troubleshoot or open the client to manually reconnect. Auto-reconnection would be an improvement."
"I would like to see better filters."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
