We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Umbrella 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."I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"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 Stealthwatch provides the solutions analytics and threat detection capabilities that I am looking for. It has also improved the network visibility of our organization."
"The ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Provides easily identifiable anomalies that you can't see with signature detections."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"It provides centralized, device-agnostic management of the Internet experience."
"The reports and notifications are the most useful part of the platform. As soon as you deploy the security layers, the reporting is very comprehensive. It helps you to have, at a glance, a clear view of what's going on."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to block users from reaching places that they should not even try to reach has been a boon."
"One valuable feature is definitely its simplicity in terms of deployment. It is very easy to integrate it into the environment without any heavy lifting. Users didn't notice that we implemented it. You can start with a very low monitoring mode and start observing what Cisco Umbrella sees."
"It has excellent resilience in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity for my organization is very important because we are a banking organization. We need this security to protect the personal information of our clients. This is very important for our security."
"Using this solution has meant that we've needed to make fewer firewall changes."
"Web proxy adds an effective layer for security."
"I like the original functionality, which allows for providing secure DNS services."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"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."
"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."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"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."
"I would like to see DLP integration in the next release of this solution."
"It's a very new product, so it's quite immature at the moment. It can be more user friendly."
"The firewall capabilities could be better. Cisco is starting to introduce some layer 7 capabilities now, but there's still some room to grow. They should continue with the development of Umbrella so that it is a full-blown cloud-managed firewall solution."
"I would like to see more integrations with more products. Some of the integrations need to be simpler as well. For example, the integration with Cisco Secure Firewall could be simpler. It would be good to make reporting simpler. For those who don't use SecureX, it would be good to make Umbrella really simple to use upfront. It's not a difficult product, but it can be daunting for someone who isn't exposed to it because there are so many options."
"User interface could be a little smoother and more intuitive."
"In the next release, I would like to see the integration of VDI NSX with Cisco Umbrella."
"If the virtual appliances could also gather traffic bandwidth reports, that would be great."
"Missing a real data leakage prevention solution."
