Find out in this report how the two Cisco Security Portfolio solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is NetFlow. The beginning of any security investigation starts with NetFlow data."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its reporting and mitigation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"Using this solution has helped us to detect and identify viruses or malicious activity in the network early on."
"It has improved our internal knowledge of what's going on with the network, and that's helpful."
"Using the Cognitive Analytics feature, we have complete visibility that we didn’t have before."
"Stealthwatch has greatly improved our network visibility, in terms of bandwidth, malware, and PCI violations."
"The solution offers 100% telemetry coverage. The telemetry you collect is not sampled, it's not intermittent. It's complete. You see everything in it, including full visibility of all activities on your endpoints and in your network."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that we don't have to do packet captures on the network."
"The product provides multiple-device integration."
"A complete and powerful micro-segmentation solution."
"It's stable."
"Scalability is its most valuable feature."
"By using Tetration insight, we are able to get the latency on our level accounts and we can determine whatever the issue is with the application latency itself."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is security."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"If they can make this product more web-based, that would be amazing."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"We've had problems with element licensing costs so scalability is a concern."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Initially, I felt Cisco Secure Network Analytics lacked integration with Splunk."
"One update that I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently, Stealthwatch is network-based. A local agent could help manage endpoints."
"The emailed notifications are either hard to find or they are not available. Search capabilities can be improved."
"There was a controversy when Cisco reduced the amount of data they kept, and the solution became quite cost-intensive, which made its adoption challenging….Although they have modified it now, I preferred the previous version, and I wish all the functionality were back under the same product."
"There is some overlap between Cisco Tetration and AppDynamics and I need to have a single pane of glass, rather than have to jump between different tools."
"I'd like to see better documentation for advanced features. The documentation is fairly basic. I would also like to see better integration with other applications."
"It has an uninviting interface."
"The interface is really helpful for technical people, but it is not user-friendly."
"Secure Workload is a little complicated to use, and the dashboard isn't intuitive, so it takes a while to learn how to use it."
"It is highly scalable, but there is a limitation that it is only available on Cisco devices."
