We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and NetWitness Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Another notable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is its Layer 7 visibility, which allows us to monitor and analyze network communications at the application layer."
"The most valuable features provided by this solution are visibility and information."
"The most valuable part is that Stealthwatch is part of a portfolio of security devices from Cisco. Cisco literally can touch every single end point, every single ingress and egress point in the network. Nobody else has that."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"The feature most valuable for us is to gain visibility of what is actually floating through, so we can stop it based on whether it's good or bad traffic."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The deployment was a breeze. It is a very innovative and robust platform that allows us to bi-directionally stitch together data elements from Netflow-enabled devices to provide a context for network utilization."
"The most valuable feature is the security that it provides."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"NetWitness can be highly beneficial for incident detection and response."
"The most valuable feature of RSA NetWitness Logs and Packets are the alerts and correlations tools."
"The most valuable features are the packet inspection and the automated incident response."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"The packet capture aspect of it is a valuable feature because it is quite different from a traditional SIEM solution that only carries out investigations based on captured logs."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"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 overall visibility into the actual device itself would be helpful. I don't just want support-specific data, but also to be able to see information such as CPU and other internal components or usage of the devices."
"It's not great as a standalone solution."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"Many of these tools require extensive on-premises hardware to run."
"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."
"At my company, we might not be using it enough with other applications that we have that can integrate with it."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"The log system is a bit complex and has room for improvement."
"There is no support for this product in this country, so problems have to be resolved through global technical teams."
"If we have the ability to run a dynamic analysis through malware in the same suite, it would be great to have a sandbox solution to analyze malware through dynamic analysis."
"The system architecture is complex and sometimes it’s hard to troubleshoot potential problems."
"Sometimes, it gives me static when integrating Windows-based systems. It should produce a precise log of sorts as to where the problem is. For example, a few days ago because of the McAfee application firewall, I couldn't get access to the particular Windows machine. So, my team and I had to figure out by ourselves that there was a virus responsible for the obstacle. This solution should trigger a meaningful log or message indicating the reason the user or implementer can't get into the machine."
"It should have a monitoring feature. It would help us analyze the current state of attacks faster from a single platform."
