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 ability to send data flow from other places and have them all in one place is very valuable for us."
"The search options on Cisco Stealthwatch are the most valuable. You can get very granular with it, down to the kilobits or the seconds if you want. The product supports any time frame that you need, so that is nice."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The most valuable feature we got out of Stealthwatch is to be able to, while troubleshooting, go deep into one of our interfaces and verify what the bandwidth is and if there's any activity there that's causing problems."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"Health and communication links availability."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One thing I would like to see improved is if it could automatically be tied through ISE, instead of you having to manually get notifications and disable it yourself."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"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."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"Some of our customers find this solution to be a little bit tough because they don't understand how to configure and use it."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The stability could be better."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The user interface could be better."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
