We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Zabbix 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."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"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."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"I would like to see a hybrid solution that can work without being connected directly to the internet for those destinations."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"Its granularity for RBAC roles-based access control needs improvement."
"The GUI could use some improvement. Being able to find features more easily would be a great improvement if it was simplified."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
