We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"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."
"It is a good application, providing for real-time monitoring of the organization of data. It can basically identify points of peak traffic where possible issues are being caused."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I think the interface is a little lacking. The interface seems like it just needs to be modernized. It's been the same interface now, ever since I've seen it probably four years ago."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"The configuration of the solution was quite complex."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
