We performed a comparison between Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics and Cisco Secure Network Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Intrusion Detection and Prevention Software (IDPS)."The most valuable feature of Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics is its reliability."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"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."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"I value the feature which enables me to detect devices talking to suspect IPs."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics could improve by having quicker detection and response and web analysis."
"One area that could be improved in SNA is the integration with Cisco ISE for user and session details, which currently requires additional setup."
"If there was one improvement I’d suggest it would be that it detect traffic through an intranet. The product requires that traffic flow through a managed network device. The product is designed mostly for enterprise environments and not smaller environments or businesses."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"Stealthwatch is still maturing in AI. It uses artificial intelligence for predictions, but AI still needs to mature. It is in a phase where you get 95% correct detection. As its AI engine learns more, it will become more accurate. This is applicable to all the devices that are using AI because they support both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The accuracy in the case of supervised machine learning is dependent on the data you feed into the box. The accuracy in the case of unsupervised machine learning is dependent on the algorithm. The algorithm matures depending on retrospective learning, and this is how it is able to detect zero-day attacks."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
