Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"Ease of deployment, once you get your ducks in a row."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."

"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"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."
"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."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
