We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Splunk User Behavior Analytics 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."
"It has been pretty stable since we deployed it, and everything seems to be working fine."
"The solution's analytics and thrust detection capabilities are good. We're still adjusting it. It's a little hypersensitive, but it is working right now."
"I believe this solution has reduced our incident response time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks."
"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"This is a good security product."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"It's easily scalable."
"This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled."
"The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"We had some trouble with the installation as we migrated from our previous solution."
"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."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"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 initial setup was complex."
"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases."
"We'd like the ability to do custom searches."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."
"If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher."
"I'm not aware of any lacking features."
