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."
"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."
"Cisco Secure Network Analytics has increased the visibility of what is happening in our network, and I think that's the most important reason to use it. We can see what is really happening instead of just looking at numbers from routers or switches."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"The scanner office document as well as PDF are useful. The most valuable thing is that you can emulate different operating systems without having the danger of getting something infected. It emulates several operating systems, and as a result, you either get the file or you don't get the file."
"he solution's GUI is good."
"The most valuable feature was the EDR, endpoint detection and response."
"The product is great. It can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises."
"The analysis engine is a very valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance it offers to users is good, making it useful for us in our company."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"What I find most valuable, is that it is easy to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There could be better integration on the programming side, which uses Python. StealthWatch could provide a template for Python to manage the switches. For example, it would be nice if StealthWatch bounced a port automatically it detected something anomalous."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"The response time from technical support should be improved."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
"I don't know if it is viable to do an improvement like this. When there are passwords in the password-protected files, it can't scan them or do things like this. I don't know if an algorithm or something else could make it better. Nowadays, many legitimate office documents have passwords."
"Most people are confused about how to use the right integration of the right Fortinet product."
"At least once a week we have a false alarm. This needs to be adjusted so that we get fewer of these occurrences."
"Fortinet FortiSandbox should improve its performance and security accuracy to keep competitive with other solutions, such as IBM."
"If updated, Fortinet FortiSandbox could cover other risks."
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
