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."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"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 most valuable feature is its alerts and dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"The ability to centrally manage all the IPS sensors, track the different security events generated by it, and customize the different policies, depending on their location."
"There's a good dashboard you can drill down into. It helps you easily locate intrusions and the source of attacks."
"Overall the solution is very good. It offers great protection and gives us a good overview of what is on the network."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The feature I found most valuable is the network threat analyzer in the security platform. It also integrates with GTI, or Global Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I just use the basic features."
"It has a lot of functions, such as firewall. We are administrators, and we create some rules to protect our network. We also monitor the traffic in and out and have disk encryption on-premises. When we detect malware, we scan for the virus on the PC. We can then delete or block the malware."
"McAfee NSP is much more stable than Cisco."
"The most valuable features in Trellix for me are the automated signature updates. It is a great and convenient feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"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."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"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."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"Integration with Global Thereat Intelligence could be better. Also, I think management solutions are end of life now at McAfee. Network threat analyzer may be used for endpoint quarantines. Integration between these sides, as well as endpoint APO, will help you quarantine the risky endpoints."
"The technical support must be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The platform’s GUI could be the latest."
"We would like to have a simpler version. Some settings and functions on the McAfee console are complex and complicated. I want the management console to be simpler."
"The management component could be simplified."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The area of concern where the tool needs improvement is how the product prompts users at a network level that helps prevent any wireless network attacks through alerts and notifications."
