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."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"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."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"We have visibility on all our network devices, through this tool, which gives me immediate alerts or notifications when some devices fail."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"The initial setup is complex, as there is a lot to configure."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"The only thing I can say needs improvement is in how they present the data to the end users. End users are looking for a dashboard with an attractive view. The current dashboards we have are sufficient for our needs, but not attractive for the business users at the upper management levels."
