We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and ManageEngine OpManager 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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has predefined alerts for different types of security issues that might happen in the network. Whether it's PCs or servers that are used for botnets or Bitcoin mining we receive the alerts automatically. This functionality is what we receive from the solution out of the box."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"The solution has increased our threat detection rate. Cisco Stealthwatch has not reduced our incident response times. It has not reduced the amount of time it takes us to detect immediate threats. It has reduced false positives."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"There are already many functionalities, so I don't think there is anything to improve."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"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."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"The solution is scalable."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"The usability of this solution needs to be improved."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"I would like to see better filters."
"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."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."
