Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."Cisco products are very secure and integrate easily with other devices."
"You can scale it when you need to."
"What I have used the most and received the most benefit from is the IPsec technology."
"The technical is excellent."
"One of the main features is that the hardware is extremely reliable."
"The VPN connection portal scan works flawlessly, which was a big plus for us."
"There is a positive impact on security, particularly the intrusion feature, which helps keep the solution concealed and secure."
"It covers everything we need it to without looking to secondary solutions."
"There has been a measurable decrease in the meantime to remediation... because we have so many different tech verticals already collated in one place, our ability to respond is drastically different than it used to be."
"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity."
"We're using it on container to see when activity involving executables happens, and that's great."
"With Threat Stack, we quickly identified some AWS accounts which had services that would potentially be exposed and were able to remediate them prior to release of products."
"It has been quite helpful to have the daily alerts coming to my email, as well as the Sev 1 Alerts... We just went through a SOX audit and those were pivotal."
"The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports... It's like having an extension of your team. And then, it grows with you."
"It is scalable. It deploys easily with curl and yum."
"Threat Stack has connectivity."
"I would like upgrading iOS to be a bit easier."
"The solution is not user friendly and it is hard to manage the GUI interface."
"While Cisco IOS Security is stable and scalable, I would like to see it improved to be even better."
"Most of their features are meant for Cisco. You cannot integrate them with any other vendor."
"The graphical user interface or the GUI could be better. Beginners can use some devices with the GUI, but some security devices are configured using CLI. It would also be better if it had its own Intrusion Protection Service and Intrusion Detection Service on the server."
"The configuration should be easier in the solution."
"The routers, don't have like long-term tendency features, or higher availability features available for the IOS. It could also use a better user interface."
"Cisco very slowly introduces and implements the products, unlike other brands."
"It shoots back a lot of alerts."
"Some features do not work as expected."
"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."
"The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it."
"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter."
"The reports aren't very good. We've automated the report generation via the API and replaced almost all the reports that they generate for us using API calls instead."
"The one thing that we know they're working on, but we don't have through the tool, is the application layer. As we move to a serverless environment, with AWS Fargate or direct Lambda, that's where Threat Stack does not have the capacity to provide feed. Those are areas that it's blind to now..."
"I would like further support of Windows endpoint agents or the introduction of support for Windows endpoint agents."
