We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Zabbix 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"It has definitely helped us improve our mean time to resolution on network issues."
"Being able to identify specific date closed across the network is invaluable."
"The fact that it can identify down to an IP address of a system that is causing problems, or potentially causing problems, is very valuable."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"The beginning of any security investigation starts with net flow data."
"Cisco Stealthwatch has reduced the amount of time to detect an immediate threat."
"If you are using Darktrace or NAC solutions you can integrate Stealthwatch."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Health and communication links availability."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Cisco Stealthwatch can improve by having bundled packages for popular add-ons. It would be a lot easier for people implementing it, have let's say a better way to use the product."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"We determined that Stealthwatch wouldn't provide the machine learning model that we required."
"I would like to see interoperability with other Cisco products because we have ThousandEyes, Cisco Prime, and others. The interaction among these is important to us."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"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 small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The user interface could be better."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
