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 single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the logging, keeping threats under control, and keeping our data and environment secure."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Cisco Stealthwatch provides the solutions analytics and threat detection capabilities that I am looking for. It has also improved the network visibility of our organization."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"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."
"It's a dependable product that is able to pinpoint where we have vulnerabilities if they occur."
"Overall, it works fine. Its interface is also fine."
"The solution has the highest stability...The solution's setup is not complex as they are already included in Fortinet."
"The technical support is very good."
"Performance is a valuable feature."
"The GUI makes administration tasks straightforward."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is an easily scalable solution."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"One area that could be improved in SNA is the integration with Cisco ISE for user and session details, which currently requires additional setup."
"Better integration between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Cisco Secure Workload would be beneficial."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"It hasn't really improved our direct detection rate but it has definitely reduced our incident response time as we wouldn't have been able to detect threats or immediate risks without this solution."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, there are issues upgrading the version of the firewall or the SD-LAN box. After we upgrade to the latest version of the software, we still have the same box. I think it's the same for every vendor."
"In the next release, I would like to see machine learning and anti-exploitation included."
"The reporting tools could be improved in Fortinet FortiSandbox."
"The area I would like this solution to be improved in is the integrations for Sandbox with AI and big data ML mechanisms. I think this would be a practical improvement."
"Not practical for real-time web traffic analysis because users won't wait for the FortiSandbox to complete its analysis before accessing content"
"Product could include a user interface and be made simpler for customers to configure."
"For additional features, maybe a form of execution pain files in a non-virtual environment because it has threats that identify when it is being run in a virtual machine."
"It would be better if it had support for Mac and Linux."
