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."It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"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."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"The ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"Corelight is easy to use."
"It's an easy way for us to get visibility in a client's environment."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to handle."
"It's easy to create additional dashboards specific to supporting specific tasks."

"I would like to see more and cleaner reporting. For example, if I pull up Steven and I want to look and maybe compare him to what you've done in the past week, and compare that to the past six months, the point would be to see what the difference in activity looks like over this time. I don't see that capability in reporting to date. You see that trend but you don't really see a straightforward comparison. That right there is key to what we want to see about the normal activity."
"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."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"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."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"It is time-consuming to set it up and understand how the tool works."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"The solution’s architecture is complex and difficult to understand. There are multiple machines and VMs."
"They can enhance the interface of the product. They can make it more interactive and also easier to use for feature access."
"In the next release, building a graphical user interface would be helpful."
"Corelight hasn’t added features in a long time."
"Machine learning could be a good improvement, but it's very costly."
