We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and LogRhythm NetMon 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It's easy to set up. The deployment takes one or two days. You need to collect the data from a device and then direct it to the portal."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"We are continuing down the road of ACI and ISE with Cisco, so we would like to see the continuation of Stealthwatch integrating into ISE for exchange of information, and also, more into the ACI environment too."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
