We performed a comparison between Nagios Network Analyzer and Vectra AI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The solution offers very good system monitoring. It's easy to manage your network, as well as your hardware and software. It's really useful."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"Vectra AI is the best. It is a major product in our cybersecurity."
"We particularly like the user experience around the dashboard, which we find to be much more straightforward than the dashboard of some of the competitive products... Vectra is a really easy system to understand and use to prioritize where we need to focus our security resources."
"The solution is currently used as a central threat detection and response system."
"Vectra AI can bring the ability to detect intrusion on the network more so than legacy IDS tools."
"Vectra AI helped our team be more productive and save time. We have less work thanks to it."
"It has helped us to organize our security. We get a better overview on what is happening on the network, which has helped us get quicker responses to users. If we see malicious activity, then we can quickly take action on it. Previously, we weren't getting an overview as fast as we are now, so we can now provide a quicker response."
"The most useful feature is the anomaly detection because it's not signature-based. It picks up the initial part of any attack, like the recon and those aspects of the kill chain, very well."
"I like the way that Vectra AI focuses on the internal network. Nowadays, most of the attackers are already inside, and they can be inside for many years before they start attacking. With normal monitoring, it's quite difficult to find them."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"It would be commercially beneficial if Vectra AI had something like Darktrace's Antigena Email or something similar to email protection."
"A blind spot that I have is around the ease with which you can automate threat intervention."
"Other alternatives, like Darktrace, have a fancier UI."
"Vectra Recall could be utilized much more, and I'm seeing some indications of that today with the investigative components. I use the Visualize feature to visualize components and dashboards a lot. I'm interested in new ways to build automated searches or having them leveraged already from Vectra."
"What is most important for us is to have one place where we can manage a few brains because we are based on a zero-trust network. As a result, each customer needs to have a separate brain. For the SOC team, we need to have one place where the SOC analyst can go to visit the website and from that site manage all of the customers. Right now, Vectra AI doesn't have this capability, and I would really like to have this feature."
"We would like to see more information with the syslogs. The syslogs that they send to our SIEM are a bit short compared to what you can see. It would be helpful if they send us more data that we can incorporate into our SIEM, then can correlate with other events."
"In comparison with a lot of systems I used in the past, the false positives are really a burden because they are taking a lot of time at this moment."
"The false positives and the tuning side of it is something that could use improvement. But that could be from our side."
