We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ManageEngine OpManager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The solution is finely stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"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."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
