"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"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 has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"Visibility. The ability to look East and West. To see what is passing through your circuits, where it is coming from, and how big it is."
"I like the solution's adaptive inspection and container inspection."
"It has the added advantage of offering forensic analysis."
"In Digital Guardian, they have the cloud correlation servers that give you visibility work like EBR and the correlation server works very well for security analysis."
"The feature we call desktop recording is the most valuable aspect of the solution. Not only can we collect data from the user's usage, but we also capture his screenshots when he is trying to steal the data."
"It can scale from 100 to 10,000. There's no problem with the scalability."
"Some of the features that are highly appreciated are its robust data loss prevention capabilities, flexible deployment options, and the ability to monitor data transfer across multiple vectors."
"There is a built-in endpoint detection response that helps save money."
"The technical support is really terrific."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"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."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"I would like Cisco to make it easier for the administrators to use it."
"Stealthwatch needs improvement when it comes to speed."

Although Digital Guardian offers numerous benefits, it can consume a substantial amount of RAM and CPU power."
"The solution has complexities around policy creation and deployment."
"I would like to see the workflow, to get all the rules and policies set up, be less complicated."
"It would be helpful if there was an on-premise version of the solution for companies that cannot use the cloud, such as government sectors."
"The initial setup is a bit more complex than other solutions."
"If the client uses Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft updates the operating system's version, Digital Guardian must update their product to match compatibility."
"Technical support could be better."
"Digital Guardian is an excellent solution but our experience with the partner has been the most horrible experience we have ever had with any partner."
