We performed a comparison between Cisco Secure Network Analytics and Corelight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"We find that Stealthwatch can detect the unseen."
"Overall, the implementation is very good."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Stability is the most valuable feature we have seen in this solution."
"Being able to graph and show data to management has improved our organization. We can show the data to the higher-ups. It shows them that it's picking up on these anomalies and doing its job."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"Corelight is easy to use."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to handle."
"It's an easy way for us to get visibility in a client's environment."
"It's easy to create additional dashboards specific to supporting specific tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded IDS from Suricata."
"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."
"The reporting of day-to-day metrics still has room for improvement."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"One update I would like to see is an agent-based client. Currently StealthWatch is network based."
"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."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"They can enhance the interface of the product. They can make it more interactive and also easier to use for feature access."
"The solution’s architecture is complex and difficult to understand. There are multiple machines and VMs."
"Machine learning could be a good improvement, but it's very costly."
"In the next release, building a graphical user interface would be helpful."
"Corelight hasn’t added features in a long time."
