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 ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"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."
"This product alleviates the day-to-day headaches for us, in regards to metrics."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is that it has a free version. They give us the free version with the anti-DDoS features and also the load balancing solution."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"The technical support is good."
"I like Cloudflare's application gateway and DDoS protection."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"The most valuable feature is the web application firewall."
"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"The overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"It would be better to let people know, up front, that is doesn't give you nice, clear information, as seen in the demos, without Cisco ISE installed."
"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."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"They should include Citrix VDIs in the next release."
"DNS Management."
"I think the APIs are a little bit hard for us to work with. The APIs could be more open so that we could integrate better with our SolarWinds or our monitoring solution."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"Support response time could be improved."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"It would be good if Cloudflare could have more servers for better traffic routing or an increase in the traffic routed. This is what I'd like to improve in Cloudflare."
